My question involves criminal law for the state of: California. I have advised a friend to seek information before taking a class for college credit for payment for a student he tutors. He has a graduate degree and is looking to continue his education. What are the ramifications for getting caught? This involves a fake California ID and transferable college credit. Thanks

You mean, other than having a black mark on his record that could haunt him in both his academic and professional career? If that's not enough to deter him, have him read the penal code - tell him to put his brilliant mind to work brainstorming what a prosecutor might find to charge.

Isn't this what got Teddy Kennedy thrown out of Harvard?

Funny thing is, the kid is having him do this to get into Harvard. Well, the thing is, he is taking the course at some JC, a school he has no affiliation with. Basically he planned on just showing up to take tests and writing the student's name on it. I don't know if it matters legally how much, but he is getting a seemingly good compensation.
