The status hearing for former University of Kentucky student Sophia Rosing was postponed to June 7 at the Fayette County Circuit Courthouse on Friday, March 1.
Rosing is being charged with assaulting a police officer, three counts of assault, disorderly conduct and public alcohol intoxication, according to Judge Lucy A. VanMeter.
The court case has yet to be settled nearly one year after Rosing pleaded not guilty on March 17, 2023, after allegedly assaulting student worker Kylah Spring in Boyd Hall on Nov. 6, 2022.

This suspect’s actions are inexcusable and this incident could’ve ended worse with violence. The victim in this case showed a tremendous amount of restraint. More than most people would have, regardless of their race, gender, age or any other factor. That being said. Why is this open and shut case taking so long to be resolved ? My guess is her family has the money to hire a good attorney who wants to drag it out to make more money, while waiting for the publicity surrounding the case to die down so the defense can cut a better deal for her that involves no jail time. There are murder and other serious crimes on the court dockets that warrant more time and scrutiny. The judge in this case should be pushing for a fair resolution or to put the matter on for trial for crying out loud.

How does one plead not guilty when there is video evidence of her doing what she pleading not guilty to? was the video tampered with or something?

Is it unusual to have cases delayed this long?

She should be charged with a hate crime.
