        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Lori Loughlin’s</strong> highly-anticipated <strong>college admissions scandal trial</strong> will go on as planned in October despite the Chinese virus pandemic, a federal judge in Boston has ruled.</p><p>Federal courts in Boston, Springfield and Worcester will remain open amid the outbreak, though pre-trial deadlines in criminal cases have been extended for 60 days, <strong>the Boston Herald reported</strong>.</p><p>Yet US District Judge Nathaniel Gorton said Tuesday he would only make pre-trial deadline exceptions in the “Varsity Blues” case for “good cause,” according to the Herald.</p><p>“This judicial officer hereby determines that all established pre-trial deadlines in the above-captioned case continue to apply,” Gorton’s order said.</p><p>“Any motion for an extension of time will be considered on an individualized basis and granted only for good cause shown.”</p><p>At a hearing last month, Gorton said a swift resolution of the case is in the interest of the defendants as well as “the public at-large and the criminal justice system generally.”</p><p>The “Fuller House” actress and her fashion designer husband, <strong>Mossimo Giannulli</strong> are set to go on trial in Boston Oct. 5. Jury selection is scheduled to begin Sept. 28, and the trial is expected to be completed before Thanksgiving.</p><p>Loughlin, 55, and Giannulli, 56, are accused of <strong>shelling out $500,000 in bribes</strong> to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as rowing recruits, even though they’d never participated in the sport.</p><p>They have pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to fraudulently transfer funds and conspiracy to commit bribery.</p><p>If found guilty, the celebrity couple could face up to 45 years in prison.</p>]]></content:encoded>
