Any time a private citizen is charged with “honest services fraud,” the prosecutor should be laughed out of court.

“Honest services fraud” criminal statutes are intended to deal with very specific cases involving public officials, not private citizens in cases where they can’t be charged with fraud because there are no victims.

“...they can’t be charged with fraud because there are no victims.”

I can only speak for myself, but my opinion of USC dropped a few notches upon learning that rich parents, any rich parents (not just alumni) can buy their kids a ticket to that school. So perhaps USC is a victim?
