LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A judge has denied a request to grant the early release of a former University of Kentucky student who called a Black student racial slurs and attacked her in 2022, LEX18 reported Wednesday.
Sophia Rosing, 24, pleaded guilty in August to four counts of fourth-degree assault, one count of disorderly conduct and public intoxication. Rosing, who is white, was caught on video shouting racial slurs and hitting a Black student employee at a residence hall. She was sentenced to 12 months in jail, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and pay a $25 fine.
Earlier this month, her attorney asked a Fayette County judge to grant her "shock probation," which allows low-risk offenders to be released between 30-180 days of their conviction, claiming they've been essentially "shocked straight" by their incarceration and are no longer a threat to the community.
Rosing has served about four months in jail.Â
The judge's order Wednesday concluded shock probation, "would unduly depreciate the seriousness of the offenses and accordingly denies the Motion for Shock Probation."
