Ex-University of Kentucky student who called black peer racist slurs in viral attack gets year in jail that she’ll serve in protective custody

A former University of Kentucky student caught on camera assaulting a black student worker while repeatedly calling her the n-word will spend a year in jail that will be served out in protective custody, a judge ruled last week.

Sophia Rosing was hit with a 12-month prison term after pleading guilty to charges of assault, disorderly conduct and public intoxication, ABC 36 reported.

Rosing, who is white, repeatedly lobbed the disgusting racial slurs as she beat up then-19-year-old student worker Kyla Spring in a drunken escapade at a campus residence hall in November 2022, according to authorities and video of the attack.

Spring previously said she tried to check on Rosing, who appeared drunk, but instead faced the ugly attack.

“The girl starts saying things like ‘Do my chores,’ ‘It’s not my fault that you’re black,’ ‘It’s not my fault that you’re ugly,’ and at this point, she’s like singing the N-word,” Spring recalled.

Rosing, now 23, didn’t stop her shocking behavior even after police arrived and arrested her. She was also accused of kicking and biting a cop during the out-of-control episode.

The university banned Rosing, who was a senior at the time, from campus following the racist attack.

Fayette Circuit Court Judge Lucy Vanmeter also ordered Rosing to do 100 hours of community service on Thursday, the Courier Journal reported.

Her lawyer, Fred Peters, complained to the Lexington Herald Leader that the prison sentence was “excessive.”

He explained because of the nature of the offenses, she will serve her prison sentence under protective custody at the Fayette County Detention Center.

“What she said was awful,” Peters told the news outlet.

“She got into a scuffle with the clerk and bit people on the hand, [but] I think she did not deserve a sentence of 12 months in prison for the very first offense her in life.”
