A man believed to be American rape suspect fugitive Nicholas Alahverdian, who faked his death to avoid prosecution of rape and fraud charges in the U.S. and was arrested in the U.K., where the new name of the rape suspect is Nicholas Rossi, can be deported back to the U.S, a Scotland court permitted last Wednesday.
The rape suspect has denied being Alahverdian or Rossi, claiming he was an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight who never went to the United States
Last Wednesday, in a hearing, Judge Norman McFadyen permitted that the rape suspect of the U.S. Rossi, as the Scottish court refers to him, could be deported. The judge sent the case of the rape suspect to Scottish government ministers to make a final verdict on the extradition of the rape suspect to the United States.
In 2022, the same judge ruled that the alleged rape suspect claiming to be Knight was undeniably Alahverdian. After seeing the fingerprints and tattoos, the judge said that he was satisfied that Mr. Knight was indeed Nicholas Rossi, the person who was a rape suspect and sought extradition by the United States.
The alleged rape suspect accused police authorities of tattooing him while he was in a coma in the hospital so that he would resemble the rape suspect wanted man and of secretly taking his fingerprints to frame him.
The alleged rape suspect said that he would like to go back to being a husband to his wife
The alleged rape suspect said he was not Nicholas Alahverdian. But Judge McFayden said the alleged rape suspect Rossi’s claims were fanciful and implausible.
United States police authorities have always believed that Rossi and Knight are the same man, Alahverdian, who was charged as a rape suspect in 2008 in Utah. The alleged rape suspect also faces fraud charges in Ohio.
In 2020, the alleged suspect told the media that he had late-stage lymphoma and had only days to live.
