L.A.’S Elite on Edge as Prosecutors Pursue More Parents in Admissions Scandal

Of the parents, coaches and others already charged in the case, 20 people, including the actress Felicity Huffman, have pleaded guilty or agreed to do so. It’s unclear for the moment how many additional parents have newly been told by the government that they are under investigation, but some of the parents are considering pleading guilty, while others believe they have done nothing illegal, according to two defense lawyers who represent some of them. The lawyers who are new to the case — whose clients have not been charged but are waiting and worrying — are calling their colleagues who are already immersed in it for orientation, asking for their assessments of Mr. Rosen, and other basic information, like what kind of plea deals the government has offered and whether defendants have received discovery yet.
