I think the public shame and lost opportunities will hurt them even more than the legal system. And many of these spoiled, privileged, entitled kids likely lack the resilience, fortitude, and mental toughness to deal with their worlds crashing down on them. I don't know how sad they truly are about potentially being kicked out of their colleges, but I think the public humiliation and shame will be very, very hard to deal. Especially for those who don't exactly have a lot of experience with handling adversity and not having every unpleasant situation "fixed" for them.
