Georgetown coach in college admissions scandal took bribes on the side: feds

The New York Post reports:

A former Georgetown University tennis coach accused of taking kickbacks in the college admissions scandal also accepted bribes independent of the scheme’s ringleader, prosecutors charged Thursday.

Gordon Ernst, who has pleaded not guilty to federal charges, was “the most prolific of all the coaches” busted in the scheme and allegedly accepted bribes from parents of school applicants as far back as 2007, prosecutors said at a court hearing in Boston, Bloomberg reported.

There's more:

Ernst — who once taught former first lady Michelle Obama and her daughters, Malia and Sasha — was charged in March of conspiracy to commit racketeering for his role in the scheme.

Ernst, 52, allegedly pocketed more that $2.7 million in bribes in exchange for bringing at least 12 students on as bogus tennis recruits at Georgetown. He faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.

Imagine that.
