Sophia Rosing was banned from the University of Kentucky campus after the incident
A college student who went on a drunken tirade using the n-word 200 times will now head to jail for a year.
Sophia Rosing, a former student at the University of Kentucky, became infamous in 2022 for her rant that was captured on video and shared on social media. In the video, Rosing was caught using the slur at a fellow student and assaulting her.
Rosing previously pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault and other charges. When she entered her plea, she apologized to fellow student Kylah Spring and members of the Black community.
This week, a judge in Kentucky sentenced Rosing to 12 months in custody and 100 hours of community service, according to Lex 18.
…
In the infamous video Spring said that Rosing struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach. As Spring is explaining what happened to her, Rosing can be heard yelling at her in the background, calling the Black student the n-word and a “b****” throughout the footage.
Who counted the N words
Hopefully lawyers that can fine her separately for each and every one.
can you get fined for saying a word in a country with the first amendment? how dumb is this even if what she did was wrong its not illegal to say the N word. The assault however she should get in legal trouble for.
The N word proves it was racially motivated.
No, you can’t get fined for saying the N-word in the US. But, repeatedly shouting it while committing an assault pretty conclusively demonstrates it was a racially motivated assault, and lots of jurisdictions in the US have laws that aggravate a crime or add an additional charge if the crime was motivated by hatred of a protected class.
Those laws can (but almost never are) applied even if the member of the protected class is male, white, etc. I think the last time I heard of someone being given hate crime charges for doing something to a white victim was the 2017 Chicago torture case where the crime was streamed on Facebook. Two black men and two black women were involved, the men received bail of $800k and $900k, the women bail of $500k and $200k - in the end all did plea deals with the men getting 7 and 8 years in prison and the women 4 years of probation and 3 years of prison. Which demonstrates neatly how much sex plays into punishment in the US, since they were all part of the same case doing the same crimes.
Probably not, but I would love to see this somehow turned into part of the assault since that barrier was broken here thus making her actions criminal.
I suppose it might have been videoed.
I don’t know but they beat me to it.
Well her going to jail is probably for the best. See how she does in genpop
Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.
You know they say that drinking alcohol kind of reveals who you are inside. Well we now know who she really is. The assault confirms that.
Eh. Maybe a glass or two. At this level, you’re just fishing around for violent thrills.
I had a family member that invariably turned violent when drunk (but only towards his wife) but wasn’t at all like that when sober.
I’ve also been drunk and several levels and around people at various level of drunkness, have done so in various countries and retain just as well in memory what happens when I am drunk (even at the “end up in hospital from alcohol intoxication” extreme) as when I’m not, though because I also remember well how it felt, I feel no regret for the crazy shit I did when drunk.
From my own observation it’s not normal for most people to seek violent thrills when drunk, though I’ve seen it happen more in certain countries than others, so it might be a cultural thing. Also those who do turn violent when drunk are roughly split into three groups: those who go for violence against equally minded people for the fun of it (which are probably the ones you’re thinking of), those who have pent up aggression and when drunk dump it on some hapless victim (which seems to be this lady) and those acting some power fantasies (i.e. when drunk in a group were they feel safe from reprisals they turn violent but alone they don’t).
Personally I’m fine with the first kind (who am I to judge what consenting adults do to each other, including violence), but the other two are just bullies who normally are too afraid or self-repressed to act on their true nature.
Naggers?
Lol i don’t think people under stood the concept of In vino Veritas whoever doenvoted you. I think they thought you were implying the message of the woman yelling removed 200 times was the “hidden truth” and not that the hidding truth being that drunkyMcdrunk face being super fuckin racist is the actual underlying truth you are nodding to.
This is “higher” education in US?
Clearly there is a problem at the primary level.
“That’s a feature, not a bug.” –Republicans
They’re all just different tiers of parasitic businesses, intent on sucking up taxpayer funds to feed their bloated administrative staff. The “education” is secondary to revenue streams, and has been for decades.
All that hideousness and just gets a year of jail and 100 hours of community service. Fucking Kentucky pantywaist conservative judge.
She basically got off without any real punishment.
She got expelled, has no degree, and will be found out for life when applying for work. Jail time is the least of her concerns.
My faith in humanity significantly decreases daily…
Only if you read the news, which is designed to repeat horrible things all day.
Fortunately you can reverse-engineer it: don’t read the news, and your faith in humanity will increase.
Also, don’t go outside, or interact with humanity in any way. “Ignorance is bliss.”
On the other hand, she did get convicted and is facing some consequences, so that’s a small bright spot in the story.
True, but the fact that she thought this was OK to do in the first place baffles me.
200 times?
Over the course of 10 minutes. That means she said it about every 3 seconds…
Good
Not good enough. Her victim says she’s clearly not remorseful.
She should be kept in prison until she really understands what she did wrong.
Anyone else getting serious larval-stage-Marjorie-Taylor-Greene vibes from this mug shot or just me?
I’m getting “crazy ex girlfriend” vibes from her. The type that would fake a pregnancy, break out your car windows, and stalk you for years after the fact.
I’m reminded of the “Asians in the library” chick from like 10 years ago or something.

Hey you leave them out of this. Ocean Avenue is a treasure.
How was this not elevated to a hate crime? That sentance is weak sauce for a racially motivated attack
It’s hard not to just be blunt here. She’s a white girl. Sentencing guidelines and police protocols are different for people matching that description. It’s a known, researched phenomenon.
It’s not unreasonable to say that the police work for non-impoverished, non-overweight white women. It’s noticeable in how quick white women are to call the police and think the police will help with a problem.
Statistically, you are roughly about 1000% more likely to experience police violence if you are not a white woman.
It’s not really for being a white girl, it’s primarily for being a girl.
Women get 63% lighter sentences for the same crimes as men ( https://academic.oup.com/aler/article-abstract/17/1/127/212179 ), while there is no racial gap between white and another race, whether among men, or women, that’s even half that wide ( https://www.ussc.gov/research/research-reports/2023-demographic-differences-federal-sentencing ).
Can you now address their bizarre assertion that the police only work for slim people?
Most broader social biases translate into higher rates of police violence, albeit not always evenly. Weight bias in society is a fairly well-established phenomenon. It translating into an increased risk of police violence hardly seems a stretch.
Your best chance of a low-risk encounter with the police and a favorable outcome in the justice system is to be a slim, upper-middle-class, college-educated white woman. If you only get to choose one, as the commenter above noted, choose woman.
Attractiveness bias is a thing. In America, slim people are perceived as more attractive so tend to get treated more leniently.
It’s both. The criminal justice system treats white folks better than black folks, and women better than men. Depending on what exactly you’re measuring which one is the larger gap can go either way. For sentencing, sex means more than race - so she’d get a longer sentence if she were a black woman, but an even longer one if she were a white man, and a still longer one if she were a black man.
I’m actually surprised a white girl got a whole year for an assault. And not even a suspended sentence!
I’ve seen cases where it’s like “white woman stabs boyfriend in heart, boyfriend narrowly survives due to prompt medical attention, 30 day suspended sentence” or “woman sexually assaults minor boy, gets herself pregnant from the assault, no punishment for her and boy owes woman child support for being her victim.”
It’s both.
Holy shit lol, I know it’s both! I never said it’s not both. I’m just pointing out the common misconception, that people tend to assume the wrong one of the two is statistically a bigger factor. And not just bigger, but much bigger.
“woman sexually assaults minor boy, gets herself pregnant from the assault, no punishment for her and boy owes woman child support for being her victim.”
In case anyone thinks this person is being hyperbolic here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/09/02/statutory-rape-victim-child-support/14953965/
The first article doesn’t primarily address racial disparities within the context of gender. The second one, which does, notes pronounced leniency for white women vs. women of other races. As a woman, you are between 12-30% less likely to receive probation instead of incarceration if you aren’t white. Where things were roughly equal is if you are being incarcerated, which is more likely if you’re not white as noted above, you are likely to get a roughly equivalent period of incarceration for an equivalent crime. All of these outcomes will be significantly worse if you’re a man.
None of that contradicts the simple point I made, which is that being a woman instead of a man is a vastly larger advantage in the US with respect to judicial leniency, than being white instead of another race, and yet certain biased people always seem to want to imply/argue that the latter is the primary factor, when it isn’t.
As an analogy, it’s kind of like how when people are talking about rape, discourse is typically more likely to center on ‘jumped in a dark alley’ type scenarios, even though the fact is that that is literally the least common way rape happens, and that statistically, it’s very rare for the assailant to be a stranger to the victim.
I was just clarifying for others where you said that sentencing isn’t harsher for women of color, which isn’t true for sentencing in general, only for sentences involving incarceration, which non-white women are more likely to receive.
you said that sentencing isn’t harsher for women of color
Literally never said that. I just pointed out that being the ‘wrong’ sex hurts you more than being the ‘wrong’ race.
White men get sentenced much more harshly than black women for the same crime, for example. That’s a fact.
Her being white is most certainly a factor. Racial judicial bias is definitely a thing. When you add in gender judicial bias you end with a tap on the wrist for a most egregious crime.
That is apparently determined at sentencing in Kentucky.

So blame the judge.
When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?
