Ponsetto remains shaken by the situation, which is 'a little frightening for her,' her lawyer said


Miya Ponsetto, 23, appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court Monday for a status hearing related to a hate charge crime stemming from an incident last year

Ponsetto falsely accused a 14-year-old black teen of stealing her phone in the Arlo Hotel lobby, and tried to grab his own phone out of his hands .

She was dubbed 'SoHo Karen' for singling the boy out after discovering her phone was missing. It was later returned by an Uber driver

Her lawyer said his client was 'grossly overcharged' for the incident and that they hope to have the case resolved within the next few months

A lawyer for the woman dubbed 'SoHo Karen' for falsely accusing a black teen of stealing her phone in the lobby of a Manhattan hotel says she has been 'grossly overcharged'.


Miya Ponsetto, 23, appeared in the Manhattan Supreme Court for a status hearing on Monday on the charges she faces - including unlawful imprisonment as a hate crime, aggravated harassment and endangering the welfare of a child, which could see her facing up to 10 years in prison.

Ponsetto's lawyer told the judge that he is trying to 'resolve' the hate crime charge in the case within the next few months.

She went viral last year after attacking 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. in the lobby of upscale boutique hotel Arlo Soho on December 26, 2020 and falsely accusing him of stealing her iPhone. Harrold Jr. is the son of jazz musician Keyon Harrold.

She later discovered that she forgot her phone in an Uber, and the driver returned it to her.

During a status hearing in court on Monday, criminal defense attorney Paul D'Emilia told DailyMail.com following the hearing that he believed his client was 'grossly overcharged'.

'She was charged with crimes that were greatly enhanced, if I could say that,' he said. 'We don't feel those charges are appropriate, but hopefully there's something that we can reach that will be satisfactory to everybody.'

Ponsetto's actions inside the boutique hotel were filmed by Grammy-winning African American jazz artist Keyon Harrold as she approached his son, Keyon Jr.

In the recording, Ponsetto is seen pushing and grabbing at the father and son, allegedly even scratching Keyon Sr's hands as she attempted to snatch his cell phone, wrongly believing it to be hers

Damn imagine black people getting justice

Shit feels foreign
 
overcharge my ass...set an example for the rest, she just happened to be the one to take that L for the rest of em!
I do think she was over charged compared to other anti black perpetrators.. white ones

She's technically a person of color and she's being treated like it. Her white passing privilege expired
