Feds recommending incarceration terms from 1 to 15 months for parents involved college bribery scandal

Late Friday night, sentencing memoranda were filed in the run up to highest-profile scheduled sentencings of a number of the parents involved in the college bribery scandal.  This ABC News report overviews the basics:

Federal prosecutors are recommending some period of incarceration for the parents in the college admissions scandal.... The government's sentencing memorandum refers to the college admissions scandal as "a kind of Rorschach test for middle class angst about college admissions." The government says some period of incarceration is the only meaningful sanction for these crimes.

Court documents showed prosecutors recommended jail time ranging from one month to 15 months for the defendants named in the memo.  Of the local parents who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud, Napa Vinyard Owner Agustin Huneeus is facing the longest sentencing recommendation at 15 months. Huneeus paid Rick Singer $300,000 participate in both the college entrance exam cheating scheme and the college recruitment scheme for his daughter.

Next is Marjorie Klapper of Menlo Park with a recommended sentence of four months. Klapper paid Singer $15,000 to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme for her son. Peter Sartorio of Menlo Park is facing a recommendation of just one month.  Sartorio agreed to pay Singer $15,000 to participate in the college entrance exam cheating scheme for his daughter.  Actress Felicity Huffman is also facing a one-month recommended sentence. 

The government says they considered the amount of the bribe, whether someone was a repeat player, an active or passive participant in the scheme and whether or not they involved their children.

I had been hoping that the US Attorney's Office in Massachusetts, which has this useful webpage with indictments, plea agreements and other documents publicly available, would also post the government's full sentencing memorandum. So far, all that is posted is a listing of the "Government Sentencing Recommendation" in each case. 

Of course, the defendant receiving the most attention in the press is actress Felicity Huffman, and here is a partial round-up of stories focused on the sentencing recommendations in her case and related matters:

• From ABC News, "Federal prosecutors argue for prison time for Felicity Huffman in cheating scam: 'She knew it was wrong'"
• From USA Today, "Felicity Huffman asks for no prison, explains why she cheated in college admissions scandal"
• From CNN, "Before her sentencing, Felicity Huffman says she feels 'utter shame' for her role in the college cheating scandal"
