[quote=Anonymous]This story is just getting better and better.

In 2017, Singer instructed Laura Janke, the former assistant women's soccer coach at USC, to create an athletic profile for Kimmel's son, presenting him as a track and field athlete. 
The profile featured a photograph of someone pole vaulting that was not him. 
Kimmel allegedly paid KWF $200,000 to have her son admitted to USC. 
Their plan was almost foiled when, during a college visit, an advisor told him he was a 'track athlete' and he replied: 'No I'm not,' indicating that he was unaware of his mother's actions to get him into USC. 
He ultimately enrolled in USC in the fall of 2018 but never attended track practice. 
In January 2019, at the instruction of investigators, Singer called Kimmel and informed her that the USC admissions department was asking about athletes not showing up at practice and that her son's name had come up. 
Singer told Kimmel that should she receive a phone call asking about her son, she should tell officials that he had gotten injured over the summer and could no longer compete, according to the affidavit.
