BOSTON (CBS) - The 35th parent involved in the college admissions scandal was sentenced in federal court in Boston on Wednesday.

As part of a plea deal, I-Hsin "Joey" Chen, 67, of Newport Beach, California, the owner of a warehousing company for the shipping industry, was sentenced to nine weeks in prison, one year of supervised release, 100 hours of community service and was ordered to pay a fine of $75,000.
