Fugitive Nicholas Rossi Admits to Using Fake Identity in Utah Court

Rossi, facing rape charges, confesses to adopting the alias Arthur Knight to escape alleged threats.

Nicholas Rossi has admitted in a Utah court that he used the alias Arthur Knight after fleeing the U.S. in 2017.
Rossi, extradited from Scotland earlier this year, is charged with raping two women in Utah in 2008.
He claims he adopted a new identity due to threats from politicians in Rhode Island, but refused to name them.
Rossi's denial of being a flight risk was rejected, and he remains in custody without bail.
The case continues as Rossi maintains his not guilty plea and prepares for a trial expected next year.
