Gordon Caplan, who the New York-based firm said is no longer a partner, is among 50 people accused by federal prosecutors in Boston of engaging in schemes that involved cheating on college exams and paying $25 million in bribes to secure their children admission at well-known universities. Thirty-three parents, including actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, are charged with participating in the scheme in hopes of getting their children into universities including Yale, Georgetown and the University of Southern California. Caplan, who along with the others was charged on March 12, in a statement announcing his plans to plead guilty, said he was “deeply ashamed of my behavior and my actions.” Prosecutors have been holding plea talks with other defendants.
