> lose, and be no worse off that without the suit
This kid should change his name, given his initials, high school and parents’ names are public record next to a four brain cell cheating attempt.
Do you think college admissions officers follow the news and use what they learn to maintain a naughty list?
Perhaps a business idea?
Unless he has someone who is very sympathetic to his cause, the teacher/counselor recommendation will wreck him.
This guy needs to go to a JuCo that feeds into a decent state school — he’s screwed for competitive schools.
I'm guessing at some point there will be LLMs trawling through news items to put together profiles for people, and as the cost comes down, it won't just be available to three letter agencies and ad platforms, but schools and employers will start to use them like credit scores.

College admissions, no. College students and colleagues and employers, being able to use a search engine, absolutely.
If you search the student's name on Google, you probably won't find this lawsuit.
Admissions know his name and the name of the school, which helps find specific students.
It’s easy to miss, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes up as “Hingham High School Harris” brings up the relevant info. Further, his parents suing may be a larger issue for a college than his behavior.
Nope. I just replied above with a similar story when I was in school. My classmate got expelled for cheating and sued the school. tv segment, articles about him, etc.
Zero effect on his college outcomes. Got into really good schools.
understand though the kid is bearing the implications for the parent's decision.
