Sounds fair to me. But a civil suit on top of that seems excessive. Now if that video hit YouTube, I would say go for it.
I keep trying to tell myself that the frontal lobe of the brain is not fully developed until about age 24 or so. From my textbook: "Full maturation [of the frontal lobe] occurs about a year earlier in females than in males. In other words, the last part of the brain to grow up is the part capable of making rational decisions, understanding the consequences of one's actions, and putting the brakes on emotional impulses."

I agree, they've been punished criminally and don't appear to have done anything with the video to inflict further emotional damage or distress on the woman.
ETA: In fact it seems to me that she's doing more to further harm her reputation by filing this suit and getting her name and the incident back in the news than they ever could have.
