Two young girls have now been charged with assault after a brawl between five teenagers was filmed and posted online during March break.
The YouTube video showed a girl being punched in the face by two other teens during a fight in a Nanaimo shopping mall parking lot on or around March 17.
The victim suffered a cut to her lip and a black eye from the altercation. As many as 20 youths watched the fight and made no effort to intervene.
Two girls, aged 13 and 14, have been ordered to have no contact with the victim. The girls are set to appear in Nanaimo Youth Court on June 16.
The probe was launched after the YouTube video link was forwarded to a Nanaimo school liaison officer.
Const. Gary O'Brien said the video was viewed hundreds of times before it was removed from the video sharing website.
