Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli are in a for a long wait as the judge has set a sentencing date for Aug. 21, contrary to early July as hoped by The Full House star. Loughlin is reportedly hoping not to serve a prison sentence at the same time as her husband for their daughter's sake.

The popular couple didn't deviate from their claims of being innocent but were pleaded guilty after more than a year to their involvement in the college admissions scandal wherein they were found guilty of paying $500,000 to ensure their daughters were admitted to the University of Southern California as recruits on the crew team, despite the fact that neither girl had participated in the sport.

According to the terms of their plea, Loughlin is slated to spend two months in prison while her husband will be spending five months behind bars. A person close to the family spoke to Us Weekly is trying their best to make sure they both do not end up serving their prison sentences at the same time because they want one of them to be around to provide their daughters emotional support.

Even though both their daughters are adults, Lori and Moss do not want to be serving their prison sentence simultaneously, the source said. Lori wants one of them to be free to make sure their daughters receive emotional support while one of their parents is behind bars. The source said Lori's major concern has been Olivia Jade and Isabella.

The couple has already pleaded guilty, but the judge refrained from issuing an official ruling over the terms of their plea agreement, saying that he first review the pre-sentencing reports. Lori is slated for official sentencing at 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 21 and Mossimo is scheduled for official sentencing at 11:00 a.m on the same day.

The source claims Loughlin is gearing up for her interview with the Bureau of Prisons for her pre-sentencing report. This report will be provided to the judge, who will use it as a guide for formal sentencing, the source added.

While Loughlin has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, her husband Giannulli has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, along with honest services wire and mail fraud. Aside from serving prison sentences, Loughlin and Giannulli will be paying a fine of $150,000 and $250,000 respectively.
