This week, the two 15-year-olds implicated in the assault on Coristine were sentenced to probation. After pleading guilty in juvenile court, the young offenders—one male and one female—faced the legal consequences of their actions. According to a report from WUSA, the boy received a 12-month probation sentence for charges including felony assault, simple assault, robbery, and attempted robbery. Meanwhile, the girl was sentenced to nine months of probation after pleading guilty to simple assault.

The judge overseeing the case emphasized that the juvenile court system aims to rehabilitate rather than punish. In her remarks, she expressed hope that the probation period would serve as an educational opportunity for the teens, encouraging them to reflect on their actions and make positive changes in their lives.

A judge sentenced the boy to 12 months of probation on Tuesday and the girl was sentenced to nine months’ probation. The boy pleaded guilty to felony assault, simple assault, robbery and attempted robbery related to the incident, while the girl pleaded guilty to simple assault.

In explaining the decision, the judge said the juvenile court’s purpose isn’t to punish, but rather to rehabilitate. The judge said she hopes the teens will use the probationary period as a learning experience.

According to the report, a victim of the attack was in court when the teens were sentenced, telling the suspects, “I hope you can figure things out and be ready for the consequences.”

In late September, Coristine told Fox News Channel host Jesse Watters he was hanging out with friends before the attack.

“I was walking one of my friends back to her car, and as we’re walking to the car, there’s a group of 10 guys right across the street,” Coristine said. “They start shouting at us. And really quickly, I knew something was really off about the situation.”

Coristine said he rushed to get his female friend into the driver’s seat before the attackers got close.

“They’re just a few feet away and they slammed me against the car,” Coristine said. “They started throwing a bunch of punches. I keep my hands up… luckily, the whole thing didn’t last too long.”

Following the assault in early August, President Donald Trump called out D.C. officials for their handling of juvenile crime.

“Local ‘youths’ and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
