Cassandra T. Borden, of Cedar, pleaded guilty in Anoka County District Court to fifth-degree assault, a misdemeanor. Borden was caught on camera hitting Sydney DeTenancour nearly 50 times, mostly to the the head. She also cut off a piece of DeTenancour's long hair. Borden believed she had caught the victim with partner. She also accused DeTenancour of ''snitching'' on Borden's boyfriend, who was cited for drunken driving. Borden was facing 90 days in jail for the attack. However she and the prosecution agreed to pay a restitution of $669 to DeTenancour. Formal sentencing is scheduled for November 14. A second teen, Alexis S. Nelson, 19, of Zimmerman, was also charged in connection with the attack. Nelson was charged with fifth-degree assault but is not accused of hitting DeTenancour. Instead she is accused of cutting off several inches of the victim's hair while she was being kicked and punched. The video also shows a third female straddling and punching DeTenancour, however the girl is a juvenile and any charges against her have not been made public. The video was made public by Jennifer Detenancour, the victim's mother, who posted the video on Facebook to demand justice for her daughter.
"They lured her out into the woods acting like they were just out for a walk. Then the camera comes on - clearly ready for what they knew was about to happen." she wrote on her social media page earlier this year.
A gang of friends had then stood by as Sydney was beaten in the woods in Saint Francis, Minnesota, while another girl cut her long hair, she said. The beating had begun after Borden accused Sydney of riding in a car with her boyfriend Seth Evans the previous evening, the Daily Beast reported. Evans, 19, had been arrested and jailed on June 16 after police pulled him over for drunk driving. Sydney and two friends had been riding in the car at the time, according to the teen.
"I'm not gonna lie to you, I brought you out here for a reason,' Borden told her. 'You were with my man, so I'm gonna fucking hit you!"
"What the fuck, Cassy?' Sydney can be heard protesting from the ground. 'I didn't say shit to anybody!"
A second woman, who identifies herself as Evans' sister, then straddled Sydney and began punching and screaming at her.
"Why is my brother back in jail?" she yelled into DeTenancour's face.  
"You snitched on my man," Borden screamed as she continued her assault, asking Sydney repeatedly "What's up little bitch?"as she hit her. 
The victim, who sufferex with nosebleeds and headaches following the assault said, "I kind of just curled up and made sure I kept my face as normal-looking as possible."
