The former University of Kentucky student who was captured in a viral video attacking a Black student and calling her racial slurs numerous times has been sentenced for the assault.

Sophia Rosing will spend 12 months in jail, serve 100 hours of community service, and pay a $25 fine.

In August, the 23-year-old pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of disorderly conduct, and one count of public intoxication.

She was arrested in November 2022 after going on a drunken, racist outburst and physically assaulting Kylah Spring, a desk clerk at the University of Kentucky who was a freshman at the time of the attack.

Cellphone video that was widely spread online captured the moments Rosing kicked, punched, and bit Springs, putting her in the national spotlight.
