A Peninsula couple, along with a former assistant soccer coach at the University of California, avoided prison time in the sprawling college admissions bribery scheme.
HILLSBOROUGH — A former assistant soccer coach at the University of Southern California who created fake athletic profiles for the children of wealthy parents in the sprawling college admissions bribery scheme avoided prison time Tuesday after helping convict others in the case.
Stephen Huggard, an attorney for Janke, said his client is a"very good person who is very sorry to have been involved in this and very glad to have this behind her." The Isacksons of Hillsborough also cooperated with the government in the so-called"Operation Varsity Blues" case. Prosecutors didn't ask for prison time for them either, telling the judge that their"acceptance of responsibility for their conduct was unstinting, their remorse sincere.
"Davina and I profoundly regret our part in the college admissions case and look forward to making amends by serving our community," Bruce Isackson said Tuesday in an emailed statement through his lawyer.
