Kentucky student who used the N-word 200 times and attacked a Black woman in a viral video will be sentenced to prison

A college student who went on a drunken tirade and used the N-word 200 times will now go to prison for a year.

Sophia Rosing, a former University of Kentucky student, became infamous in 2022 for her rants that were captured on video and shared on social media. In the video, Rosing was caught insulting and attacking a fellow student.

Rosing previously pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault and other charges. As she entered her plea, she apologized to fellow student Kylah Spring and members of the Black community.

According to Lex 18, a judge in Kentucky this week sentenced Rosing to 12 months in prison and 100 hours of community service.

After her previous plea hearing, her attorney Fred Peters told local media how the plea deal was reached with participation from both sides.

“A lot was said, apologies were made and we sorted it out,” Peters said of the meeting. “She had a lot of time to think about what she did and she wrote a nice letter of apology.”

However, Spring said after the hearing that she did not believe Rosing was remorseful.

Rosing was banned from the Kentucky campus following the incident.

In the infamous video, Spring said Rosing punched her multiple times and kicked her in the stomach. As Spring explains what happened to her, Rosing can be heard screaming at her in the background and calling the black student the N-word and a “s***” throughout the footage.

She uses the racial slur about 200 times throughout the video.
