My understanding is once you broadcast the "anticheat", you effectively close that channel and take all of the funds. There's nothing left for the cheater to cheat again. Of course they could attempt this by opening another channel and trying to cheat again.

However cheaters do not know if someone has someone watching transactions for them when they are offline
