A man accused of rape is denying anger over a call from Barron Trump, according to a court hearing. The man, Matvei Rumiantsev, is facing multiple charges, including assault and rape, and is denying all accusations. During the trial, Rumiantsev claimed he wasn't angry when he received a FaceTime call from Barron Trump, the youngest son of the former US President. However, he admitted to feeling jealous, stating that he was 'quite used to her receiving calls' and didn't attach much importance to it. The incident occurred in January last year when Barron Trump was on a video call with the woman, who cannot be named, and allegedly witnessed her being assaulted by Rumiantsev. Trump then alerted the police. Rumiantsev's defense argued that he was trying to make the woman understand the wrongfulness of her actions, and that his response was influenced by the presence of Barron Trump. The court also viewed a video that allegedly showed the victim crying on the floor while Rumiantsev stood and spoke to her in Russian. The prosecution has suggested that Rumiantsev's actions were driven by anger and jealousy, and that he attacked the woman while Trump watched on FaceTime. The case has raised questions about the role of technology in emergencies and the potential impact of high-profile individuals on such situations. The trial continues, with more evidence and testimony expected to be presented.
