Before being indicted in analleged college admissions cheating scam,Lori Loughlinsaid in an interview about her Christian morals that she would never do anything that her “children have to pay the price for.”
In aresurfaced interviewwith the Christian Broadcasting Network from 2014, Loughlin, 54, opened up about how she did want her career choices to affect her faith and family — specifically her daughtersOlivia Jade, 19, andIsabella Rose, 20, with husbandMossimo Giannulli.
“For me personally, I was always very thoughtful about projects that I chose for myself,” Loughlin began. “I would say to myself, ‘Can my father watch this?’ If my father couldn’t watch it, I didn’t do it.”
“And then when I had children… I always thought, I don’t want to do anything that one day might rear its ugly head and my children have to pay the price for that.”
“I’d have to say I’m definitely that person [who] steps back and says, I know we’re going to work this out. Like it’s going to work out and I know you’ve got my back,” Loughlin said of her faith.

Since it was revealed that Loughlin and Giannulli, 55, were charged withconspiracy to commit mail fraudand honest services mail fraud, the family has gonecompletely under the radar.
A source told PEOPLE that the actress and her designer husband, as well as their daughters, are hunkered down at their house in Bel Air, California.
“The whole family is still laying low at their Bel Air home,” the source said. “Lori and Mossimo both have court dates in Boston next week. It’s still a very stressful time for them all.”
“They are living in the moment and that’s all they can do right now,” the source adds. “For them, this is all still a nightmare.”
