Fugitive Nicholas Rossi guilty of rape after extradition to US

An American fugitive who mimic his death and fled to Scotland to escape justice was found guilty of rape in the United States.

Nicholas Rossi, whose name was also under Nicholas Alahverdian, rejected all the charges.

The case is about an attack in Salt Lake County, but still faced another hearing for a alleged rape in Utah County, which is still scheduled to be held in September.

The jury members of four men and four women took more than eight hours to reach their decisions. Rossi will be sentenced on October 20 and will face for five years behind the bars.

Rossi, who had a joke with the law team before, did not show any feeling when the decision was read.

Salt Lake County Regional Lawyer Sim Gill said: “We are grateful to the surviving person in this case for the request to come forward years after this attack.

“We appreciate his patience while working to bring the defendant back to the defendant to Salt Lake County in order to take place and take justice.

“He took courage and courage to face the attacker to teeth and hold him responsible.”

The court had heard that Rossi was raped in Salt Lake County – MS.

He said that they met online in 2008, they started to go out and they were engaged two weeks later.

He said that Rossi’s behavior was changing, checking, lending money from him, he wouldn’t let him drive his own car, and he didn’t criticize his clothes.

The court heard that the woman decided to end the relationship, at this point, Rossi pushed him into bed in his apartment and raped him.

The defense claimed that it was like “puzzle from a saving shop” because there are missing parts of the case and there was no full picture.

After losing money in MS’s engagement rings, they claimed to be offended and after 13 years after seeing Rossi in the news, he spoke of the rape.

The court later heard that Rossi was accused of raping his apartment in Orem, Orem, who appeared as a witness in the current case.

KP, at the age of 21 in August 2008 Rossi with the social network site Myspace met and said they had a short relationship.

Once, he woke up to the court to find out that he spent on a computer for $ 400 (£ 296) using the credit card details in Rossi’s apartment without permission.

Rossi said he would pay him back, but after the relationship ended, he admitted that he had no money.

Later, when he started to make a sex action on himself, and when he tried to leave, Rossi pulled his clothes down and fixed him to a couch or another piece of furniture before raping him.

Rossi’s allegedly raped the KP, the hearing is scheduled to start in Utah County next month.

Nicholas Rossi was born in 1987 Nicholas Alahverdian – Rossi was the name of his stepfather.

Under the credit card fraud investigation, he imitated his death in 2020 and fled the US to escape justice.

Authorities suspected that it was somewhere in the UK.

In the same year, Rossi married his wife Miranda in Bristol.

In December 2021, a hospital in Glasgow was arrested in Covid Ward.

The staff recognized Mugshot and different tattoos from Interpol – but Rossi claimed that he was a victim of the wrong identity and that his name was Arthur Knight, an orphan who had never gone to the United States.

Legal procedures began, but it was largely dragged because of Rossi’s mascara.

Wearing a three -piece suit and oxygen mask in a wheelchair, he participated in a series of courts that maintain the claim of wrong identity.

Rossi insisted that he was given his unique tattoos while lying unconsciously at the Glasgow hospital to frame him.

When asked by journalists, he could not provide a birth certificate or passport.

Before deciding that a sheriff was Nicholas Rossi and that the wrong identity claim was “unreasonable” and dreams, a few lawyers dismissed.

An Emir, which enabled Rossi to be returned to the United States, was signed by the Scottish Justice Secretary in September 2023 and returned to the United States in January 2024 after he lost his last appeal.

During the bail hearing in Salt Lake City last October, Rossi admitted for the first time that he and Alias Arthur Knight were the same person.

He refused to escape to England to escape the arrest, claiming that he had left the country and then claiming that he had used the name to escape the threats.
