A jury found a man and woman accused of beating a disabled man on video for money guilty on Thursday.

After two hours of deliberating, the jury found 61-year-old John Williams and 27-year-old Zuzu Vargo guilty of aggravated abuse of a disabled person.

The jury was shown the 10 minute video posted on shefights.net on Wednesday showing Vargo punching and kicking a shirtless man lying on the floor.

Williams, owner of JP Productions, was the man behind the camera. He told the jury that the kicks and punches were not forceful but were made to look real.

Prosecutors say the victim was a mentally ill homeless man that was preyed upon by Vargo and Williams.

"These are two greedy people beating up on a disabled person," said State Attorney Susan St. John. "They knew it but they did it anyway for money."

Vargo’s attorneys say their clients had no idea the victim was disabled and point out that he signed a liability waiver.

"He signed a waiver. He got in that ring. He knew exactly the kind of activity that he'd be exposed to," said Williams' attorney Luke Lirot.

Prosecutors said it's clear the man didn't understand the waiver.

"Disabled people can be employed, disabled people can get themselves to and from work, they can get themselves around the community," said St. John. "It doesn't mean we get to use them as punching bags."

"Ms. Vargo had absolutely no idea that Mr. (name redacted) might suffer from any type of physical or mental condition," said Vargo's attorney Daniel Hernandez.

The victim took the stand on Wednesday and told the jurors that he did not have any fun in the ring and did not want to do it again. The victim could not fight back and was paid $50 to appear on the video.

At the time, the victim said he was living in Williams Park because he got lost on his way home.

Williams and Vargo are facing up to 30 years in prison.

Williams was being sued by four men who claimed they were targeted because they were homeless. That case was settled out of court.
