(CNN) Prosecutors plan to seek a sentence of four to ten months' jail time for actress Felicity Huffman for her role in the college admissions scandal, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation said.

Huffman was among 13 parents who pleaded guilty last week to a charge of conspiracy to commit fraud. A total of 33 parents, including the "Desperate Housewives" star, have been accused of using their wealth to cheat on standardized tests for their children, and bribe college administrators and coaches who had clout when it came to admissions.

Prosecutors' decision to seek four to ten months had nothing to do with Huffman's public apology, the source said.
Ultimately, a federal judge will have the final say on Huffman's sentence.

Huffman is due back in court on May 21 for a sentencing hearing.
