Overview
- Rumiantsev, sentenced Friday at Snaresbrook Crown Court, received four years in prison for assault causing actual bodily harm and for perverting the course of justice.
- Jurors in January convicted him on the assault and obstruction counts but cleared him of rape and intentional strangulation linked to the same period.
- Prosecutors said he beat the woman for about an hour on January 18, 2025, dragging her by the hair and leaving her bruised and terrified she might die.
- Barron Trump saw part of the attack during a FaceTime call from the United States and dialed 999, a move the judge praised, though jurors were told to treat his account with care because he was not cross‑examined.
- The obstruction finding stemmed from a phone call from custody and a prison letter urging the woman to withdraw her claims, and the judge called him jealous and unrepentant while warning he may be deported after his sentence.
