The news outlet confirmed that the actress was arrested in Los Angeles.

Huffman was among the dozens of parents who were accused of participating in the nationwide scam, in which proctors would help students cheat on standardized tests, and/or coaches would falsify documents to admit the students as "recruits" for sports they did not play. In addition to Huffman, actress Lori Loughlin, as well as exam proctors, administrators and athletic coaches were indicted.

Huffman is accused of paying $15,000 to to have someone help her daughter cheat on the SATs.
