I continue to confuse him with the guy who involved his (?) teenaged son with faking his death by drowning in the ocean. Who was that guy?

was it Raymond Roth, son was Jonathan, don't think he was a teen, maybe 20ish when it happened?

It has probably been posted awhile ago but here's the fake obituary he wrote about himself. A wee bit over the top. Imo.

It is also interesting that his wife and two sons are not named in the obituary - thankful for them to have anonymity! I wonder how they are feeling with all that has gone on?! I wonder about all of the people he named in his obit and how they feel about his claims of greatness. He is certainly one to study.

2 children and a wife in 2020 ? or were they made up??? Looks like bigamy is a criminal offence in Utah Utah Code Section 76-7-101

 

[Luna20]

He is unbelievable!

That is overkill. I don’t recall reading an obit of this length ever for someone who isn’t historically famous. What a joke!

He thinks so highly of himself and we are to believe that he didn’t write it! I’m looking forward to seeing this dead man in court.

 

[LordMo]

his description of his last words stuck with me as maybe the goofiest shaggy dog story I've ever heard.

But he's dead <wink, wink> so no bigamy.

 

[Cartie]

I had wondered with the amount of allegations against him could there be more serious crimes he committed.

If he was being extradited for charges that could lead to the death penalty, Scotland would not of agreed....just food for thought

Nicholas Rossi: Rape suspect who 'faked death' makes bizarre Utah court appearance after extradition from UK

Authorities spent several years trying to get him back to the US, where he is wanted in connection with the rape of a 21-year-old woman.

news.sky.com

Rossi spoke in an apparent English accent at a Utah court on Tuesday, referring to the judge as "m'lady" and saying claims he wasn't giving his true name were "complete hearsay".

He claimed he was Arthur Knight Brown and spoke in a laboured, breathy tone while taking air from an oxygen mask.

Nicholas Rossi appears in court for first time since extradition

The 36-year-old appeared at a virtual hearing Tuesday over sexual assault charges clad in an oxygen mask and using a fake name and date of birth.

www.dailymail.co.uk

When Judge Kimberly Hornak asked if he was Rossi, he gave a garbled response. 'I think I'm going to have to have the jail restate what he said,' Hornak said.
(…)
Hornak was then informed that Rossi had not given his real name or birthdate and had been extradited to Utah.

'Objection, m'lady!' Rossi said. 'That is complete hearsay and I would ask that your ladyship and prosecution show cause for why I am.'

As Rossi continued talking, Hornak arranged a detention hearing for January 26 and ordered the 36-year-old not to have any contact with the alleged victim.

'Mr. Knight, we're finished,' the judge said.

Nick Alahverdian is refusing to appear before a Utah judge. He may soon be subjected to force.

The con man formerly from RI refused to appear in person Tuesday to answer rape charges. The judge authorized use of "reasonable force" to compel him.

"Is he ill today?" asked the judge.

"That I do not know, your honor," Bastian replied.

"He gave no reason for his failure to come down?"

"Not to me, but I can find out for you."

(Judge) Pullan set down a continuation date of Feb. 6. "If he's not ill, he has no reasonable excuse, I will authorize reasonable force to compel his attendance."

Probably trying to fake his own death....again!

MOO
There is a fantastic interview that just dropped on YT a couple of days ago with the creator interviewed former Rhode Island Representative Brian Coogan. Brian met Nick Rossi when he was a teenager serving as a page and almost adopted him when he was 15 (definitely an insider). The video is over 2 hours long ugh, but the first hour is a must listen.
MOO

Two hearings scheduled 3/5 and 3/8 for 2 rape charges from 2008.
