Report: NKY woman sentenced for dorm assault caught on video at University of Kentucky

A Northern Kentucky woman who admitted in court to using racial slurs and assaulting another student in a dormitory at the University of Kentucky was sentenced Thursday, according to WKYT.

Sophia Rosing, 23, of Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, pleaded guilty Aug. 12 to four counts of misdemeanor assault, as well as disorderly conduct and public intoxication, Fayette County Commonwealth's Attorney Kimberly Baird said. She was banned from the University of Kentucky campus.

In exchange for Rosing's plea, prosecutors agreed to reduce a felony assault on a police officer charge to a misdemeanor.

Rosing was sentenced to 12 months in jail, 100 hours of community service and a $25 fine, WYKY said.

Rosing's charges stem from a Nov. 6, 2022, racist tirade and assault of a Black student. It started when Rosing was arrested after a confrontation at Boyd Hall.

According to a citation from the University of Kentucky Police Department, an officer responded to the residence hall for a report of a woman assaulting staff members.

The case entered the public eye after videos were posted online . In them, a woman authorities identify as Rosing can be seen struggling with the desk clerk and later with the police. The video also captures her repeatedly using racial slurs.

Rosing was arrested that night and was later permanently banned from campus. UK President Eli Capilouoto announced on social media that she would not be permitted to reenroll at the university.

Fred Peters, Rosing's attorney, said the plea followed mediation between Rosing and the victims. As part of mediation, the victims were also given the opportunity to confront Rosing about what happened, Baird said, adding that the victims were ultimately in support of Rosing taking a plea.
