Fayette County Circuit Court denied former University of Kentucky student, Sophia Rosing’s, shock probation request on Wednesday, March 12, according to court documents.
After consideration, the court concluded “shock probation would unduly depreciate the seriousness of the offenses.”
Rosing was convicted of one count of disorderly conduct, one count of alcohol intoxication and four counts of fourth-degree assault in October 2024, where she was sentenced to 12 months in jail.
Rosing was charged after an altercation with a student dorm front desk worker, Kylah Spring, where a video showed Rosing verbally and physically assaulting Spring repeatedly, calling her a racial slur.
According to the Kentucky Kernel, four months after being sentenced, Rosing’s defense requested she be released on shock probation and the rest of her sentence be suspended under strict probation terms.
