White Privilege Strikes Again: Kentucky Student Released Early from Jail After Assaulting Black Classmate and Using N-Word 200 Times

A former student from Kentucky, Sophia Rosing, has been granted early release from incarceration following her conviction for a racially charged assault against a Black dormitory employee. After pleading guilty to various charges—including four counts of fourth-degree assault, along with disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication—Rosing was initially sentenced to 12 months in jail, accompanied by 100 hours of community service and a $25 fine. The incident, which garnered widespread attention, occurred in November 2022 when Rosing was filmed violently attacking Kylah Spring, repeatedly using racial slurs. When confronted by law enforcement, she claimed to have significant financial resources and expected preferential treatment. Following a failed initial motion for early release, Rosing's application was eventually approved two months later, facilitated by credits for good behavior and time served. She remains banned from re-enrolling at the University of Kentucky.
