COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A judge in Collierville has ordered three teens caught on video throwing punches as part of a "fight club" placed in the custody of the Youth Services Bureau.
Twenty-three spectators at the fights Aug. 18-24 were given community service Friday by Juvenile Court Magistrate Herbert Lane.
Police were able to identify participants through videos posted on YouTube.
State prosecutors used a new state law targeting illegal prize fighting and other sports to summon 28 teenagers to Juvenile Court, some as young as 15.
Autumn Chastain, a Memphis attorney representing one of the teens who fought, unsuccessfully challenged the use of YouTube video as evidence and argued that her client had not been the aggressor.
