A Pennsylvania man has agreed to plead guilty to bribing Georgetown University's former tennis coach $50,000 to get his daughter admitted as a fake athletic recruit, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.
Robert Repella, 61, of Ambler, Pennsylvania, was expected to plead guilty Tuesday to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
Prosecutors are recommending a sentence of 10 years in prison and a $40,000 fine. Repella is the 55th person to be charged in the college admissions bribery scandal, but prosecutors say he was not involved with William "Rick" Singer, the alleged mastermind behind the sweeping nationwide scheme.
