Last week, we reported that Mossimo Giannulli, the fashion designer husband of Lori Loughlin, had requested that he be allowed to serve the rest of his prison sentence for his role in the college admissions scandal at home after spending 56 days in solitary confinement. Giannulli, 57, has just gotten bad news from the judge presiding over his case, as his request has been denied.

In a court filing obtained by Fox News, Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton said that while the conditions that Giannulli was held in during his time in isolation was “more onerous than they would have been but for the pandemic,” they were not reason enough for him to be sent home.

“In any event, although defendant’s quarantine was longer than anticipated, he has since been released to the general population and has given no extraordinary or compelling reason why his current circumstances in the camp warrant immediate release,” Gorton wrote in the filing. He added that Giannulli has “not shown, for instance, that he suffers from any condition which would place him at an increased risk of severe illness due to COVID-19 nor, indeed, that he suffers from any particular medical condition.”

With that in mind, the judge found that Giannulli’s original sentence of five months is “appropriate in that it serves…to dissuade and deter others who may, like Giannulli, believe that because they can afford it they can flout the law. Modifying or reducing defendant’s sentence in this case would undercut any such deterrence.”

“Accordingly, this Court will deny defendant’s motion for compassionate release. If extenuating circumstances occur in the future, the warden can intervene or defendant can file a renewed motion,” Gorton concluded.

Giannulli was sentenced to five months in prison last year on charges related to him allegedly paying $500,000 in bribe money to have his two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, even though neither girl had ever rowed before. His wife served two months in prison for the same crime, and was released from prison at the end of December. Giannulli is currently scheduled to be released from prison on April 17. He has since moved out of solitary confinement.
