Barron 'saved woman's life by calling UK cops when she Facetimed him mid-attack'
Barron Trump called UK police after witnessing an alleged assault during a FaceTime call, prompting charges against Matvei Rumiantsev for assault and rape, prosecutors said.
- On January 18 last year, Barron Trump called UK emergency services at 2.23am after seeing Matvei Rumiantsev allegedly assault a woman on FaceTime, providing her address and urging it was an emergency.
- During the trial, jurors learned the woman had been in a six‑month relationship with Rumiantsev, and she alleges he assaulted her after an argument, including rapes long ago and on January 18.
- Court heard exchanges in which the woman confirmed her friendship with Barron Trump and told jurors she was `on my knees begging`, while UK police officers' body-worn footage showed them asking if the assault was streamed.
- Amid the trial, Matvei Rumiantsev denies assault, ABH, two counts of rape, intentional strangulation and perverting the course of justice, while defence barrister Sasha Wass KC called the sexual-assault account a `complete fabrication` and the woman said under cross-examination that `He helped save my life`.
- The woman's claim that Barron Trump saved her life has drawn cross-border attention, as UK police officers noted the informant was likely Donald Trump's son and Barron told officers `I called you guys — that was the best thing I could do`.
