Laura Janke, a former USC soccer coach who is cooperating with a federal investigation into college admissions fraud, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Boston to a racketeering conspiracy charge.
Laura Janke, pictured outside a Boston courthouse on March 25, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a racketeering conspiracy charge.
Janke not only has admitted her guilt, she also has brokered a formal cooperation agreement with prosecutors in hopes of receiving a more lenient sentence. The cooperation deal, which Janke signed April 21, indicates that prosecutors believe Janke has offered or will offer credible information that can buttress their existing cases or build new ones.
Singer, the scheme’s admitted ringleader, has pleaded guilty to four felonies. Four of his alleged conspirators — a soccer coach at Yale, a sailing coach at Stanford, a tennis coach at the University of Texas and an administrator at IMG Academy in Florida — also have pleaded guilty. Janke represents a potential wellspring to prosecutors, and her negotiation of a coveted cooperation agreement suggests she either already has helped their investigation or convinced them she can.
