Brevard Circuit Court Judge Morgan Reinman has ordered the two teenagers, ages 15 and 16, to post an apology on YouTube for throwing a soda drink in the face of a Taco Bell clerk, then posted the video “fire in the hole” on Youtube.

In the new video, the teens say they “take full responsibility” for their “irresponsible behavior.” Link to apology video

The teens are charged with two counts of battery and one count of criminal mischief. Prosecutors say the boys must serve 100 hours of community service and send letters to the victims to have the charges dropped, Seminole-Brevard State Attorney spokeswoman Lynn Bumpus-Hooper told the Orlando Sentinel.

Despite the online apology, the victim, ex-Taco Bell employee Jessica Ceponis, told the “Today Show” that she wasn’t satisfied.

“I don’t think the lesson is completely learned, because they are still young, and, to some of their friends, this is going to make them heroes,” Ceponis said.
