ROCHESTER — Shiloh Hendrix, the woman caught in a viral video using a racial slur at a Rochester park , said she plans to fight criminal charges.

Earlier this week, the Rochester City Attorney’s Office announced it was filing a misdemeanor complaint summons in the case. The complaint charges Hendrix with three counts of disorderly conduct. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.

The video, which was originally posted on TikTok the week of April 28, 2025, shows a man confronting the woman for calling a Black child a racial slur at Roy Sutherland Playground at Soldiers Field Park. The man challenges her to repeat it. The woman, later identified as Hendrix, repeats the slur four times and makes an obscene gesture to the camera as she walks away.
