Two of the teens who assaulted former DOGE staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine – resulting in the graphic police photo that hastened President Donald Trump’s crackdown on Washington D.C. crime – have avoided incarceration and been put on probation.
The boy and girl, both 15, and both from Hyattsville, Maryland, were sentenced Tuesday in connection with the savage attack on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) high-tech worker on a D.C. street on August 3, according to WUSA9.
A juvenile court judge gave the boy 12 months probation and allowed him to return home under strict house arrest. The girl received nine months probation and was remanded to a local youth shelter.
Both teens had pleaded guilty to simple assault. Both now have avoided potentially tougher punishment. In
