The Varsity Blues scandal involves parents bribing to get their children into prestigious colleges as athletic recruits. Wilson and Abdelaziz are the first to stand trial, with Wilson paying $1,000,000 for his daughters' admission to Harvard and Stanford, and Abdelaziz paying $300,000 for his daughter's admission to USC.

The two parents will be sentenced in February.
