Adam Semprevivo described a summer of “terrific success in doubles” in an email to Georgetown’s tennis coach, according to an affidavit filed in federal court.

One example: At Singer’s instruction, the younger Semprevivo described a summer of “terrific success in doubles” in an August 2015 email sent to Georgetown’s tennis coach, according to an affidavit supporting charges against his father.That coach, Gordon Ernst, later accepted a bribe from Singer, who pocketed $400,000 from Semprevivo’s father, according to charging documents filed against Ernst and Stephen Semprevivo. Ernst has been indicted on a charge of racketeering conspiracy.

Massachusetts U.S. Atty. Andrew Lelling announces indictments in a sweeping college admissions scandal during a news conference on March 12 in Boston. Kenner is now seeking an injunction to stop the school from expelling Semprevivo and voiding his credits. In the suit, Kenner argues Georgetown has denied Semprevivo due process rights enshrined in the university’s code of ethics, which constitute a contract between Georgetown and Semprevivo, a tuition-paying student.

Two months later, Singer emailed the boy and his father again. He needed to submit an essay to Georgetown, and Singer had written it for him. He emailed the essay to Adam Semprevivo and his father, according to the affidavit, which quotes from it. His attorneys say he never signed the application, and thereby never attested to its truthfulness. Singer submitted it for him, they say, typing Semprevivo’s name into the signature block.

Just a “cursory examination … would have made it clear they were absolutely inconsistent with one another,” the lawsuit says.
