Pennsylvania Woman To Plead In Chinese Test-Taking Scheme
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A Chinese citizen who lives in southwestern Pennsylvania woman was scheduled to plead guilty to charges she took an English language fluency test and a college entrance exam for another Chinese woman now enrolled at Virginia Tech.
Twenty-four-year-old Yunlin Sun, of Berlin, is one of 15 Chinese citizens indicted in May. Federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh allege they scammed tests run by Educational Testing Service and the College Board - such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT - for more than $5,000 per exam.
Some of those indicted are students at U.S. schools who paid to have others take the tests in Pittsburgh area since 2011. Others, like Sun, are accused of impersonating students and taking the tests for them.
Sun's attorney previously said she'd "contest" the allegations. He couldn't immediately be reached Monday.
