Sophia Rosing has pled guilty to multiple charges, including assault and disorderly conduct.
The University of Kentucky student exposed for attacking a Black student and saying the n-word has pleaded guilty to multiple charges.
According to USA Today, Rosing pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of disorderly conduct, and one count of public intoxication. In exchange for the guilty plea, prosecutors reduced her felony assault on a police officer to a misdemeanor. The police report did list her biting and kicking an officer.
Her attorney, Fred Peters, also told the Lexington Herald-Leader that his client feels remorse for the racially charged attack.
Moreover, Peters noted that a mediation between Rosing and the Black female students she hurt also occurred. The woman, who has not seen or spoken to Rosing since the incident, confronted her about her actions. Following the conversation, the victims supported her taking the plea.
“Although she is no longer a student, we must continue our investigations,” the university said in a news release. “That includes our cooperation with an investigation into criminal charges filed; our Code of Student Conduct disciplinary proceedings and racial harassment misconduct being reviewed by our Office of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity.”
