Thursday, January 28, 2026 - A Russian man has been convicted in a London court of beating a woman in a crime reported by Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump.
The crime occurred in London, the suspect was Russian and
the witness who saw the beating on a video call was in the United States and
happened to be the youngest son of President Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Jan. 28, 22-year-old Matvei Rumiantsev, who
admitted he was jealous of his girlfriend's friendship with Barron Trump, 19,
was found guilty of assault.
During Rumiantsev’s cross-examination in court on Jan. 23,
prosecutors asked him if he had been jealous of the ex-girlfriend's friendship
with Barron.
"What I was really unhappy about was that she was
frankly leading [Barron] on," Rumiantsev said, according
to Metro.
"I am being portrayed as a jealous person who can lose
his temper due to jealousy. I want to just make clear that her actions towards
[Barron] were wrong, and it was not fair. I was jealous to some
extent."
Rumiantsev allegedly grabbed the woman’s hair and pushed her
to the floor, while shouting, "You are not worth anything."
The jury found Rumiantsev guilty of
assault, BBC and CNN reported on Wednesday.
He was also found guilty perverting the court of justice
after he wrote to the woman from prison after the Jan. 18, 2025, attack, asking
her to withdraw her accusations.
He was acquitted in Snaresbrook Crown Court of r@pe and
choking the woman on the night Trump called police, and an additional r@pe and
assault alleged in November 2024.
Barron Trump, 19, the only child of Donald and Melania
Trump, didn't testify in the case
