Brooklyn, N.Y. – A Brooklyn soccer coach has been sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl at a sports camp in Marine Park. The announcement was made today by Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, who underscored the gravity of the crime and the importance of protecting children from predators.

District Attorney Gonzalez stated, “This defendant despicably and unconscionably exploited his position of trust to prey on a young child in his care. I hope today’s sentence brings some closure to the victim and her family. I remain steadfast in my commitment to protecting our children and bringing sexual predators to justice.”

The defendant, Stanislav Rozovsky, 52, of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, was sentenced by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Michael Kitsis. In addition to the seven-year prison term, Rozovsky will serve 10 years of post-release supervision and must register as a sex offender upon his release. Rozovsky was convicted on July 3, 2024, of first-degree sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a child, and second-degree unlawful imprisonment following a jury trial.

According to the investigation, the incident occurred on July 18, 2022. At that time, Rozovsky, who was the coach and owner of a youth soccer camp in Marine Park, lured the 10-year-old victim into his van by buying her ice cream. When the child attempted to leave the vehicle, Rozovsky grabbed her wrist and forced her back onto the seat. He then fondled her chest, kissed her, and told her, “I love you.”

The abuse came to light when the child bravely told a parent what had happened, leading to Rozovsky’s arrest on August 12, 2022.

The investigation was carried out by New York City Police Detectives from the Brooklyn Special Victims Squad. The District Attorney also acknowledged the contributions of Special Victims Bureau Paralegal Julia Holman, Digital Intelligence Analysts Anna Kharitonova and Richard Rojas from the Digital Evidence Lab, and Media Services Technician Imani James from the Multimedia Services Unit in the successful prosecution of the case.
