Overview
- Judge Derek P. Pullan sentenced Rossi in Utah County to five years to life and ordered it to follow his Oct. 20 Salt Lake County sentence.
- Pullan granted credit for custody since Rossi arrived in Utah in 2024 and declined credit for the two years he spent detained in Scotland.
- Prosecutors and the victims pressed for consecutive terms to prioritize public safety and allow more time for treatment oversight by the parole board.
- Rossi denied the assaults during sentencing, called the women liars, and said he will appeal, with 30 days to challenge the Utah County conviction and sentence.
- The Utah County case was revived after DNA from a previously untested rape kit linked Rossi, who was later identified in Scotland after allegedly faking his death and was extradited to Utah.
