Shiloh Hendrix, the Rochester woman caught on video using a racial slur against an autistic Black child, is finally facing legal consequences more than four months after the incident shocked the nation and fueled a divisive online debate.
The charges, announced Tuesday, come in the form of three misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct. Each carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
And yet, even as Hendrix prepares to face justice, she’s already profited enormously from the attention, raising more than $800,000 through an online fundraiser by portraying herself as the real victim.
