Dodgy sod, but turns out Covid-19 does have its uses after all 😉
> He was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in December with Covid-19 – where he used the alias Arthur Knight.
> Nicholas Rossi, 34, was wanted by Interpol and faces a charge of rape in Utah in the United States.
> The Utah charges had come from an initiative to review historical sex assault cases where DNA evidence kits had not been tested.
> Nicholas Rossi was the suspect in a case in 2008. It had been closed by the lead detective without being referred to the Utah County Attorney’s Office for screening.
> In 2018 the DNA review connected him to **another sexual assault case in Ohio**. Investigators believed Mr Rossi had left the US and had led state legislators in other states to believe he was dead.
> The FBI also had a warrant for his arrest on charges of defrauding his foster father by taking out credit cards in his name and running up debts of more than $200,000.
> Investigations by other agencies have recognised him as Nicholas Alahverdian, Nicholas Alahverdian Rossi, Nicholas Edward Rossi, Nicholas Alahverdian-Rossi, Nick Alan, Nicholas Brown, Arthur Brown and Arthur Knight.
> Mr Rossi told US media in December 2019 that he had late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma and had weeks to live. Several outlets reported that he had died in February 2020.
> When he was arrested in Glasgow he was on the run from authorities in several US states.
Wonder whose ashes were supposedly scattered in this case
> A memorial posted online declared him a “warrior that fought on the front lines for two decades” for children’s rights and **said his ashes had been scattered at sea**.
It shows one of the great things about medical and criminal advancement.
Cold cases, which were previously unsolvable are now because re-looked at again and these fuckers are actually being caught.
Glad he was caught here before he did anything again.
Lol, read the headline and thought “wow faking your death, that’s kinda badass”
Then it turns out he’s a rapist who faked dying of cancer. Every single aspect of that is disgusting
He used the alias Arthur Knight, which is very “tell me you’re not British without telling me you’re not British”
How does someone get from the US to Glasgow as a fugitive? You cant get on a flight with a fake passport anymore, can you?
I wish they explained how he was caught. The only thing I can imagine is that Arthur Knight was already a known alias and the name was on a watch list.
