Oct 17, 2024
LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) — Sentencing is set for Thursday afternoon for a former University of Kentucky student who pleaded guilty to multiple charges stemming from a racially charged attack in a campus dormitory.
Sophia Rosing, 22, entered her guilty plea in August to charges of assault, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication. The incident gained widespread attention after video footage surfaced in 2022, showing Rosing using a racial slur and physically assaulting a student desk clerk while intoxicated.
According to police reports, Rosing not only attacked the clerk but also assaulted a police officer who was called to the scene to address the disturbance.
Court records indicate that Rosing’s sentencing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Thursday.
