Kay Toy writes in the lawsuit: "I'm not a wealthy person, but even if I were wealthy I would not have engaged in the heinous and despicable actions of defendants. I'm outraged and hurt because I feel that my son, my only child, was denied access to a college not because he failed to work and study hard enough, but because wealthy individuals felt that it was OK to lie, cheat, steal and bribe their children's way into a good college."
Kay Toy's lawsuit isn't the only suit in the case. A class-action lawsuit has been filed by several students against USC, UCLA and other schools in the alleged admissions scheme.
