The former head coach of Yale University’s women’s soccer team is accused of conspiring with William Rick Singer, the man behind the college cheating admission scheme, to accept bribes in exchange for designating Yale applicants as recruits for the women’s soccer team, according to a court filing.
Rudolph “Rudy” Meredith, the head coach of the Yale women’s soccer coach for about 23 years, agreed to work with Singer in 2015, according to the filing.
Meredith is charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and honest services wire fraud, the filing said.
In one case, Singer is accused of adjusting the resume and personal statement of a candidate to falsely describe the applicant as the co-captain of a prominent club soccer team in southern California, despite the fact that the applicant did not play competitive soccer, the filing said. Singer allegedly sent Meredith a check for $400,000 in January 2018 after the applicant was admitted to Yale, according to the filing.
Relatives of the applicant allegedly paid Singer approximately $1.2 million in multiple installments, including approximately $900,000 that was paid to one of Singer’s charitable accounts, according to the filing.
If convicted, Meredith will forfeit over $865,000, more than $308,000 of which was already given to the FBI in a cashier’s check in May 2018, the filing said.
He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Boston on March 28.
