The white boy pleaded guilty to common assault, and the girl admitted to harassment, alarm, or distress to the boy involved. However, both denied the act was racially motivated.

The male teen also told a second Black victim, “I will slap the 50 shades of black out of you, pal!” The second victim would also received 50 euros of compensation according to Atlanta Black Star.
