Prosecutors say MacFarlane, 56, paid Singer and his associates $450,000 to ensure his two children were admitted to USC as recruited athletes. His daughter was recruited to the university as a soccer player in 2014 after submitting an athletic profile that said — among other falsehoods — she was a “U.S. Club Soccer All-American” for three years, according to a criminal complaint charging her father with fraud conspiracy. MacFarlane paid Singer $200,000 for the scam, prosecutors allege.
