SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. — Two women pleaded guilty Thursday for the aggravated battery of a Satellite Beach teen in February 2015.
Rebecca Gotay and Jessica Umberger, both 19, pleaded guilty for their roles on the crowbar assault on then 17-year-old Daniel Vukovich, who was sent to the hospital with multiple fractures.
Dylan Thomas, 18, pled not guilty on the accusation of wielding a weapon.

Gotay and Umberger said they planned the assault with Thomas and face up to 15 years in prison at sentencing.
"I drove (Thomas) to (Vukovich's) house with a crowbar and I dropped him off," Gotay said. "When he was finished he came back to my car."
Investigators said they believe the group plotted against Vukovich, because they believe he stole marijuana and smoking paraphernalia.
"I'm really sorry for what happened," Umberger said. "If there's anything I could do to take it back, I would."
Gotay and Umberger's pleas are conditional, based on their further cooperation in the case.
No trial has been set for Thomas, but Gotay and Umberger will be sentenced on April 15.
