John Vandemoer will avoid jail time, despite federal prosecutors recommending he be sentenced to 13 months in prison.
John Vandemoer had admitted to accepting $610,000 in bribes to designate two prospective students, neither of whom wound up attending Stanford, as sailing recruits.
"While the defendant did not profit financially from his crimes in a directly measurable way...his actions nonetheless enhanced his own status within the university, gave him more money to use for the sailing program he implemented, and furthered his career," they said. He was sentenced Wednesday in Boston federal court to two years of supervised release with six months of home detention. He was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
Federal prosecutors said they hoped a prison sentence would"deter similarly situated individuals...from secretly abusing that trust for personal benefit" and"begin restoring confidence in a college admissions system that most people agree is needlessly unfair.
