Nicholas Rossi found guilty of rape charge
Nicholas Rossi, a US man who faked his death and fled to Scotland to escape rape charges, has been found guilty of one of them at a court in Utah. The 38-year-old was accused of sexually assaulting two women in the state in 2008 - one in Salt Lake County, the other in Utah County. He denied the charges. Prosecutors are trying the cases separately. The court heard earlier this week that he held down a woman and "forced me to have sex with him". The Salt Lake County court heard that she began a relationship with Rossi while recovering from a traumatic brain injury in 2008. The woman, who can't be named for legal reasons, said she responded to a personal ad Rossi had placed on Craigslist and the pair quickly became engaged. But the relationship soured and Rossi became "controlling and saying mean things to me", the court heard. She described an incident on the day she was raped in which Rossi pounded on her car and used his body to block her from pulling out of a garage. When she eventually went into the house with him, he pushed her onto his bed, held her down and "forced me to have sex with him", she testified. Rossi's lawyers sought to convince the jury her motivation in accusing him of rape was resentment over their relationship. Please refresh the page for the fullest version.
