An American fugitive who faked his death and fled to Scotland to escape justice has been found guilty of rape in the United States. Rossi, who appeared in court under his other name, Nicholas Alahverdian, had denied all charges.

On the third day of his rape trial, Nicholas Rossi refused to testify on his own behalf inside a Salt Lake City courtroom as his defense team barely needed an hour to present its case.

Rossi has been found guilty of raping a 24-year-old woman in December of 2008, after they dated for a brief period of time. Court documents stated that Rossi trapped the woman in his bedroom, not allowing her to leave,
