The former co-chair of Willkie Farr & Gallagher -- one of the highest-profile parents nabbed in a U.S. college-admissions scandal -- will become the second to plead guilty in the case.
“I take full and sole responsibility for my conduct,” Gordon Caplan said in a statement Friday. “I want to make clear that my daughter, whom I love more than anything in the world, is a high school junior and has not yet applied to college, much less been accepted by any school. She had no knowledge whatsoever about my actions, has been devastated to learn what I did and has been hurt the most by it.”
