The judge described Rumiantsev as 'totally unrepentant' and a 'man given to jealousy,' signaling a harsh view of accountability.

Rumiantsev was convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and perverting the course of justice, but acquitted of rape and intentional strangulation relating to the same incident.
