In London, Matvei Rumiantsev is on trial facing charges including rape and assault. Barron Trump, then 18, alerted London police to a potential assault after witnessing Rumiantsev allegedly attacking a woman during a video call on January 18, 2025. Trump's emergency call, played in court, reported a woman being beaten and provided her address. Police bodycam footage showed the woman identifying herself as a friend of Trump, and she later told officers that Trump had witnessed the attack during their call. The woman testified that Trump's call "helped save my life," while Rumiantsev denies all charges, with the defense suggesting the woman fabricated her account.
