Mixon's attorneys released two surveillance videos last week, that showed Mixon punching OU student Amelia Molitor in 2014, which fractured four bones in Molitor's face.

Mixon was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and undergo counseling after entering an Alford plea.

"I'm here to apologize to Ms. Molitor. I ask for your forgiveness. I let a lot of people down. It really doesn't matter what she did, it's all on me. I take full responsibility for what I did. It's never OK to hit a woman. I would preach that to anybody. Hopefully people around the world learn from my mistake."

Molitor required reconstructive surgery as a result of Mixon's punch.
