Russian man  found guilty of beating up girlfriend after Barron Trump reported attack to UK police

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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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
