As a teaching assistant I occasionally came across cheaters. Dealing with them can be a very painful process. In one case students were plagiarizing homework assignments. The instructor invited the accused into his office and presented them with the evidence. He gave them the option of withdrawing from the course or going before a dean. They elected to withdraw. There was some ugly personal fallout from this incident.
