A federal judge presiding over the nationwide college admissions scandal that netted actress Lori Loughlin called allegations investigators pressured a cooperating witness to entrap parents “serious and disturbing,” NBC News reports.

Attorneys for the couple and other defendants are now looking for US District Judge Nathaniel Gorton to toss the case, according to newly-obtained court documents.

In the three-page memo and order submitted Friday, the defense team cites notes from government star witness, William “Rick” Singer, in which he claims probers told him to “bend the truth” and “tell a fib” in order to “retrieve responses that are not accurate,” NBC News reports.

Singer, the scheme’s mastermind, wore a wire for investigators to expose the swindle.

The “Full House” star and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, allegedly paid $500,000 to get their two daughters, Olivia Jade, now 20, and Isabella Rose, 21, into the University of Southern California as crew recruits.

The celebs are among dozens of parents accused of paying bribes to get their children into top-tier colleges and universities.

Loughlin and Giannulli have pleaded not guilty to fraud, bribery and money laundering conspiracy charges.

Earlier this month, federal prosecutors released the photos they say helped Loughlin and Giannulli scam their daughters’ way into USC.

The photos, included in court documents filed as part of the FBI’s case, show Olivia and Isabella, their faces blurred, in workout attire on ERG rowing machines.
