Kentucky student faces jail after N-word rant at black staffer (2024)

Prosecutors have demanded a year in jail and 100 hours of community service for a University of Kentucky student who assaulted staff and police officers during a prolonged tirade of racist abuse.

Former business and marketing major Sophia Rosing, 23, called a young female desk clerk the N-word 200 times as she stumbled drunkenly towards her dorm in November 2022.

She was still yelling it as she was led away by police officers she had bitten, kicked and informed of her 'wealth' as they tried to restrain her.

She pleaded guilty on Monday to six counts including four of assault after they were amended to fourth-degree-minor injury as part of a plea deal.

'I told her that she didn't break my spirit,' desk clerk Kylah Spring said after the hearing. 'That was one of the things I said the first time I ever spoke about what happened and that rings true today.'

Rosing pleaded not guilty at an initial hearing with her attorney Fred Peter in November 2022.

She had stumbled back onto campus in Lexington, Kentucky, after a night out drinking before launching herself at Spring who was manning the front desk.

Some students tried to intervene and others took out their phones to record the 10-minute tirade during which she swung punches at Spring, told her to 'do her chores', and repeatedly called her an 'ugly n***** bitch'.

When University of Kentucky police officers arrived to detain her at 4am she told them she gets 'special treatment' because she has 'lots of money', and refused to identify herself to officers as she was slung into jail.

She was suspended by the university within hours of the incident, and permanently banned from campus three days later.

It later emerged that she allegedly doxed a 15-year-old girl while they were at high school together, publicly posting that she would 'send nudes' and falsely claimed she had an abortion.

Spring made an impassioned speech at an anti-racism march the day after the incident.

The university freshman became emotional as she addressed the dozens of people who attended the march in her honor. She told the crowd: 'I was physically, verbally and racially assaulted by Jane Doe, aka Sophia Rosing.

'This is a recurring issue in and across the American school system no matter what age.

'I am deeply saddened by the events that took place, but I am most grateful for justice that is to come.

'To Miss Rosing. You will not break my spirit and you will be held accountable for your actions. I only pray that you open your heart to love and try to experience life differently and more positively.

'As Michelle Obama once said, when they go low, we go high. I will continue to address this situation with grace and humility.'

A year before the vile racist incident, Rosing had bragged to fellow students: 'I'm rich as f*** and you're obviously not'.

DailyMail.com previously revealed how she grew up in a modest three-bedroom and two-bathroom family property in Fort Mitchell with her parents and siblings.

Rosing's attorney Fred Peters told Lex18 that his client has since stopped drinking.

'She's extremely remorseful,' he added.

'She has had a lot of time to think about what she has done, and she wrote a nice letter of apology.'

But Spring said Rosing did not address her behavior in court, and she remains unconvinced of her remorse.

Rosing will return to Fayette County Circuit Court on October 17 for sentencing

'I feel that a person that is remorseful takes actions that are moving towards proving they are remorseful,' she said. 'Not just words.'

'I think her admitting at least a piece of what she's done – admitting the things she said and being able to own up to them I think it's going to follow behind.

'Seeing yourself act in that light is not an easy thing to see, I imagine, so I guess there's still a bit of maturing and unpacking she needs to do with that. So I'll give her the space to do that.'

'I forgive her more so for myself, she added.

'I was raised not to hold grudges, I was raised that we give people forgiveness because God forgave us.'

Rosing will return to Fayette County Circuit Court on October 17 for sentencing.
