A Brooklyn soccer coach will spend the next seven years behind bars for sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl who attended his camp, Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez said Thursday.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Michael Kitsis handed down the prison sentence after a jury in July found Stanislav Rozovsky, 52, guilty of sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a child and unlawful imprisonment.
“This defendant despicably and unconscionably exploited his position of trust to prey on a young child in his care,” said Gonzalez. “I hope today’s sentence brings some closure to the victim and her family.”
Rozovsky’s sentence also carries 10 years of post-release supervision and requires him to register as a sex offender, prosecutors said.
Rozovsky was the owner and coach at a youth soccer camp in Marine Park when he bought the 10-year-old victim ice cream to lure her into his van on July 18, 2022, prosecutors charged. When the victim tried to flee the vehicle, Rozovsky grabbed her wrist and pushed her into the seat, before kissing her and fondling her chest, according to prosecutors.
“I love you,” Stanislav told his victim as he abused her.
The victim reported the abuse to her parents, who notified police; Rozovsky was cuffed on Aug. 12, 2022.
Stanislav was previously jailed for molesting an 8-year-old girl who attended his soccer camp in 2010, according to the Brooklyn Paper. At the time, the 39-year-old soccer coach allegedly offered the girl a ride home after a soccer game but instead took her to his Ave. Y home in Sheepshead Bay, where he assaulted her, the outlet reported.
A spokesman for the Brooklyn DA’s office could not immediately say whether Stanislav was convicted in the 2010 abuse case.
