A youth soccer coach was sentenced to seven years in jail for abusing a 10-year-old girl who attended one of his Brooklyn sports camps, but it was not the first time he had been accused of preying on a young player.
After a jury found him guilty of first-degree sexual abuse last month, Stanislav Rozovsky, 52, received his sentence on Thursday.
Prosecutors allege that Rozovsky, a coach and owner of a Marine Park juvenile soccer program, offered the girl ice cream and lured her into his van in August 2022.
As the girl attempted to exit the van, he grabbed her and pushed her back inside, fondling her chest and kissing her.
The predator told the girl, “I love you,” according to prosecutors.
The horrific molestation was reminiscent of a tragic incident from 2011, when Rozovsky faced accusations of sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl on one of his youth teams.
The sex crime case, however, crumbled after the girl refused to testify, sources said.
Instead, in July 2012, prosecutors filed a suspended license case against him, leading to a 1- to 3-year prison sentence; however, Rozovsky only served five months before his release on December 27, 2012.
A civil case accusing the perv coach of molestation, sexual assault, and physical abuse of a young girl over the summer of 2010 fell apart around the same time, according to court records.
Rozovsky formerly headed the Dinamo NY soccer club before joining the Chelsea Premier Soccer Academy, where he is listed as a director on the website, according to sources and records.
Founded in 2014 and named after Chelsea FC in London, the Chelsea Premier Soccer Academy “aspires to be an outstanding educational-athletic organization that provides high-quality experience for every athlete.”
According to its website, Rozovsky’s Club will host both a day camp and a sleepaway camp in 2022.
The day camp, where the alleged attack on the 10-year-old player occurred, featured activities on multiple grounds in south Brooklyn and charged parents $350 per week for their children to participate, according to sources.
The club’s website features a photo of “Steve Rososki,” whom a source confirmed is Rozosky. Rososki’s entry indicates that he has 30 years of experience coaching youth and holds PhDs in clinical and sport psychology.
The discovery of the coach’s other name and past case shocked a parent whose child had participated in Rozovsky’s soccer program for two years before quitting.
“It’s disgusting,” the father, who declined to be identified, told The Post on Friday.
He stated that Rozovsky would frequently travel around the United States with his children to attend soccer events.
“I had this business card that stated he had all these licenses and belonged to all these organizations,” the parent said.
“It’s concerning that someone who has experienced a previous situation lacks background checks and is currently working with children.”
