A white Florida couple who shocked millions with their racial aggression back in July 2025 has been convicted of assault with prejudice.
Antavis Johnson, a solar panel worker, wished he had never knocked on Steven Wiley and Cheryl Ann Pyle’s door two summers ago.
Upon seeing a Black man on their front step, the couple began shouting racial slurs, and at one point, Wiley threatened to hang him.
Johnson began recording the ordeal for his safety and posted the video to TikTok, where it racked up millions of views.
Not only did the video expose their behavior to the public, but State Attorney Monique Worrell of Orange and Osceola counties said it made all the difference in the courtroom.
Speaking at a press conference after the October 7 conviction, she said, “Because of that video, we were able to have a clear path to prosecution.”

Worrell painted a vivid picture of the incident at the press conference, saying the couple “hunted him throughout the neighborhood.”
“These defendants not only used offensive language, they chased him, they followed him, and they threatened bodily harm, putting him in fear for his safety. That’s crossing the line. That’s hate speech, and that’s a crime.”
Johnson said he does not feel safe with the couple out of jail, adding, “I still have to live with this trauma from having PTSD, bad anxiety breakouts.”
The couple said Johnson cursed and gave them the middle finger when they turned him away, but Johnson denies those claims.
After the video went viral, the couple contacted police regarding threatening phone calls and messages. However, the responding officer said Wiley made “racially charged” comments even while he was taking the report, according to Fox 35.
Wiley and Pyle did not receive jail time. They were sentenced to probation and must attend anger management courses.
