Brendan Depa, now 18, was sentenced to five years in prison followed by 15 years probation for brutally attacking a teacher's aide in February 2023.
A former Florida high school student who knocked a female teacher's aide out cold over a Nintendo Switch was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison.Brendan Depa, now 18, was still a minor when he attacked paraprofessional Joan Naydich in a hallway inside Matanzas High School in February 2023. Security footage captured the 6 foot 6 inch-270 pound teenager sprinting towards Naydich before knocking her unconscious, stomping on her, and punching her 15 times.
'I had told the school that being hungry was a trigger, that noise was a trigger, that being told 'no' was a trigger, that being corrected in front of other people was a trigger, and electronics was a huge trigger,' Leanne Depa said.On the day of the attack, Naydich had asked another teacher to take away Depa's Nintendo Switch. When he heard of her plan, Depa allegedly called Naydich a 'b****' and 'whore' and spat on her as she exited the classroom.
