Sick New York soccer coach sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually abusing a young girl – and it is not the first time he has allegedly abused one of his players

A youth soccer coach was sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl who attended one of his sports camps in Brooklyn. But it was not the first time he was accused of sexually assaulting a young player.

Stanislav Rozovsky, 52, was sentenced on Thursday after a jury found him guilty of first-degree sexual abuse last month.

Prosecutors said Rozovsky, a coach and owner of a youth soccer camp in Marine Park, bought the victim an ice cream in August 2022 and lured her into his van.

When the girl tried to get out of the van, he grabbed her, pushed her back into the house, and caressed her breast and kissed her.

“I love you,” the villain said to the girl, according to prosecutors.

The heinous abuse was sadly reminiscent of a 2011 case in which Rozovsky was accused of sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl from one of his youth teams.

However, the sex crime case collapsed after the girl refused to testify, the sources said.

Instead, prosecutors filed a driving disqualification case against him, which ended in a one- to three-year prison sentence in July 2012. However, Rozovsky spent only five months behind bars before being released on December 27, 2012.

At about the same time, a civil case was also underway in which the pervert trainer was accused of sexual harassment, coercion and physical abuse of a young girl in the summer of 2010, according to court records.

Rozovsky managed the Dinamo NY soccer club before his recent stint at the Chelsea Premier Soccer Academy, whose website lists him as a director, according to sources and records.

The Chelsea Premier Soccer Academy – named after Chelsea FC in London – was founded in 2014 and says it “strives to be an outstanding educational and sporting organisation, providing high quality experiences for every athlete.”

According to Rozovsky's website, Rozovsky's club hosted a day camp and an overnight camp in 2022.

The day camp where the alleged attack on the 10-year-old player took place held its activities at various sites in South Brooklyn and charged parents $350 a week for their children to attend, sources said.

The club's website features a photo of “Steve Rososki,” who a source says is Rozosky. The entry for Rososki states that he has 30 years of experience as a youth coach and also holds a doctorate in clinical and sports psychology.

A parent whose child participated in Rozovsky's soccer program for two years before leaving was stunned to learn of the coach's different name and his previous case.

“It’s disgusting,” the father, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Post on Friday.

He said Rozovsky regularly traveled around the United States with children to soccer games.

“I had this business card that said he had all these licenses and belonged to all these groups. I turned around and didn't know what had happened,” the parent said.

“It's scary that someone who has been in this situation before, had no background check, and is now dealing with children.”
