Felicity Huffman<\/a><\/strong> is taking responsibility for her actions.<\/p>\n

On Monday afternoon, the Department of Justice announced in a press release that 13 parents and one university athletic coach have agreed to plead guilty to charges of mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.<\/p>\n

One of those parents is in fact the Desperate Housewives<\/em> star.<\/p>\n

“I am pleading guilty to the charge brought against me by the United States Attorney’s Office. I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those actions,” Felicity shared in a statement. “I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “I want to apologize to them and, especially, I want to apologize to the students who work hard every day to get into college, and to their parents who make tremendous sacrifices to support their children and do so honestly. “<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Felicity ended her statement by making it clear that her daughter was not aware of her mother’s actions.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her,” the actress shared. “This transgression toward her and the public I will carry for the rest of my life. My desire to help my daughter is no excuse to break the law or engage in dishonesty.”<\/p>\n
