A British court has sentenced 22-year-old Russian national Matvey Rumiantsev to prison after 20-year-old Barron Trump, the son of the US president, reported an assault on his woman friend to British police, Reuters reports.
The agency reports that Barron Trump witnessed an assault on his woman friend during a video call. After he reported the incident to British police, the Russian national was arrested.
Judge Joel Bennatan of the Royal Court of Snaresbrook emphasized during sentencing that Barron Trump "properly and responsibly" contacted emergency services.
"At one stage in the violence, there was a call to or from her friend Barron Trump. He saw you beating her up and you held the phone and filmed her, an angry act to humiliate her. Mr. Trump properly and responsibly, despite being in the United States, made sure the emergency services here were called and he told them what he had seen," the judge said.
The Russian man was found guilty of assault and obstructing justice but was acquitted of rape and intentional strangulation. The court sentenced him to two years in prison for both crimes, to be served consecutively.
In other news, Trump recently stated that the US has decided to shift from bombing Iran to negotiations, as Tehran has started “saying reasonable things.”
He also said that Iran wants to reach an agreement. He explained all public denials by saying that Tehran is afraid to speak openly due to fears of being eliminated.
On March 26, Donald Trump claimed that he was allegedly offered the position of supreme leader of Iran, which he said he refused.
