Ex-US Pilot on Trial for Alleged Kidnapping and Assault of French Girl in London

Robert Prussak, accused of abducting and drugging a nine-year-old outside Harrods, denies all charges as the trial unfolds.

The incident occurred on April 22, 2023, when the girl was separated from her family during a visit to Harrods in London.
CCTV footage showed Prussak approaching the child and later leading her to his apartment, where she was allegedly given a sedative.
The girl testified that she felt tired after drinking water at Prussak's flat, which prosecutors claim contained an antihistamine.
Prussak, a former US Air Force pilot, is charged with kidnapping, administering a substance with intent, and multiple counts of sexual assault.
The trial is ongoing at Isleworth Crown Court, with the prosecution presenting evidence of Prussak's actions and the defense denying all allegations.
