Lori Loughlin released from prison after 2-month sentence for college admissions scam

(CNN) -- Actress Lori Loughlin has been released from federal prison after serving a two-month sentence for her role in the college admissions scam, prison spokeswoman Sally Swarts said Monday.

Best known for starring as Aunt Becky in "Full House," Loughlin pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in May and admitted to paying the scheme's mastermind $500,000 to get her two daughters into the University of Southern California under false pretenses.

She began serving her sentence on October 30 at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California.

Her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, also pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge as part of a plea deal. He reported to the Federal Correctional Complex in Lompoc, California, on November 19 to serve a five-month sentence.

I'm not a fan and I'm not even sure I've even seen her perform. However, here's what I think.

She broke the law.

She was sentenced for her crime(s).

She did her time, paying her debt to society.

Let's leave her alone. She has to rebuild her family and her life.

Just my 2¢.
