Devin Sloane, a Los Angeles businessman whose son was admitted to USC as a bogus water polo star, was sentenced Tuesday to four months in prison.

Over the protests of his attorneys, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani chose to incarcerate Sloane, the second parent sentenced in the college admissions scandal, for misrepresenting his son as a member of Italy’s youth national water polo team, a charade Sloane achieved with gear purchased online, a graphic designer and $250,000. Sloane’s son didn’t play the sport.

Talwani also ordered Sloane to pay a $95,000 fine and perform 500 hours of community service. The four-month sentence struck a middle ground between what prosecutors had requested and what Sloane’s attorneys said was fair.
