Man guilty of assaulting woman after Barron Trump alerted police
Matvei Rumiantsev was convicted after Barron Trump reported witnessing a woman assaulted on FaceTime; Rumiantsev admitted jealousy and faces sentencing on March 27.
- Between January 17 and 18, 2025, Matvei Rumiantsev was found guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and perverting the course of justice at Snaresbrook Crown Court in east London.
- Prosecutors said jealousy over a friendship with Barron Trump motivated the assault, noting Matvei Rumiantsev became aware of that link in October 2024 and admitted being `jealous to some extent`.
- The court heard that Mr Trump said `Oh I'm calling from the US, uh I just got a call from a girl, you know, she's getting beat up`, and the FaceTime camera was flipped to show the woman being hit for five to seven seconds.
- The victim told jurors that Mr Trump's intervention helped prevent Rumiantsev from killing her, the court heard, while Mr Justice Bennathan KC warned jurors to treat Mr Trump's account cautiously.
- Rumiantsev will be sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court on March 27, and the case attracted international media and cross-border police attention after Trump emailed investigators in May 2025, saying `what I saw was very brief indeed but indeed prevalent`.
