Cotto Torres, 26, pleaded no contest and was given six months of probation, according to NBC Miami. He must perform 20 hours of community service and take firearm safety courses from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, according to the outlet. Bach Armas became a viral sensation after sentencing Clavicular, real name Braden Peters, to 20 hours of community service and six months of probation last Friday. Online commenters quickly noted how the judge had supposedly 'mogged' Peters, online slang referring to outshining or overshadowing someone's looks, success or accomplishments.
