‘Soho Karen’ gets hate crime charge erased after accusing black teen of stealing cellphone in viral video

The notorious “Soho Karen” — who falsely accused a black teenager of stealing her cellphone at a Manhattan hotel — had a hate crime charge scrubbed from her record Monday after making good on a plea deal that kept her out of prison.

Miya Ponsetto, 26, entered a new plea to second-degree aggravated harassment, a misdemeanor, for attacking then 15-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. after accusing him of snatching her iPhone in the infamous caught-on-camera incident at the Arlo Soho Hotel on Dec. 26, 2020.

A shabbily-dressed Ponsetto, who wore checkered Vans sneakers, baggy pants and an oversize winter coat — in a drastic departure from her prior sleek court outfits — didn’t comment after the Manhattan Supreme Court hearing.

‘Soho Karen’ pleads guilty to hate crime – but avoids jail in deal with prosecutors

The Californian had cut the deal with Manhattan prosecutors in April 2022 when she pleaded guilty to unlawful imprisonment as a hate crime , a felony that would be wiped from her record if she completed counseling and avoided trouble with the law for two years.

Prosecutors confirmed to Judge Laura Ward that Ponsetto had completed the terms of the deal Monday morning after they received the paperwork from her defense attorney, Paul D’Emilia.

She would have faced up to four years in prison had she failed to comply with the agreement.

Ponsetto was filmed by Harrold’s dad, jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold, in the hotel lobby frantically telling a manager that the teen had stolen her phone.

But Harrold Sr. said that Ponsetto’s phone had been returned to her by an Uber driver just minutes after the incident.

She has been sued by the Harrold family over the incident, and the case remains in litigation.

Ponsetto infamously spoke with “CBS This Morning” anchor Gayle King — dressed in a black cap with the word “Daddy” on it — and downplayed the incident while claiming she couldn’t be racist because she is a “woman of color.”

Ponsetto, who once told The Post that she wished she’d “apologized differently” to the victim , left Monday’s hearing wheeling a black suitcase and carrying a Trader Joe’s tote bag, as court officers held an elevator for her and her attorney.

The judge extended an order of protection and ordered that Ponsetto have no communication with Harrold Jr. and his father.

“I am pleased that Ms. Ponsetto will walk away from this incident with no criminal charges or conviction on her record,” her attorney said in a statement after the hearing.

“In spite of my opinion that this matter was deliberately mischaracterized and mislabeled, I am relieved that our firm successfully convinced the New York County DA to forego any lasting damage to Miya. Ms. Ponsetto was unfairly put through a public wringer stemming from this mishap,” D’Emilia said.

“Miya was extremely relieved by this resolution and is looking forward to resuming her life in California with her family and loved ones.”
