Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, as well as 14 other parents, were indicted Tuesday for their alleged involvement in a massive college admissions scheme.

A federal grand jury in Boston indicted the 16 parents, including Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, on charges of conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Massachusetts announced Tuesday.

The 16 defendants were already charged last month with conspiring with William Rick Singer, who co-founded a for-profit college admissions company that masqueraded as a charity, to bribe elite university coaches and administrators to admit their children to the schools.

Tuesdays superseding indictments also charge Loughlin and the 15 other parents with conspiring to launder the bribes by funneling them through Singers purported charity.
