Fugitive Nicholas Rossi conned senior members of Bob Dylan's management into discussing sex abuse allegations

Bob Dylan Nicholas Rossi Larry Jenkins United States Arthur Knight America Sexual Abuse Sunday Mail

Notorious fugitive Nicholas Rossi was praised by Bob Dylan’s publicist for supporting the singer on a sick website.

The American-born conman had created an online news site on which he named and abused a woman who’d been accusing his idol of sexual abuse. And he was able to convince the singer’s publicist Larry Jenkins into talking to him by putting on a posh English accent and posing as a blogger called Arthur Knight.

At the time Rossi was on the run from the FBI over allegations of rape after faking his death in his home state of Rhode Island and hiding in a Glasgow flat. The Sunday Mail has heard a recording of a phone call between Rossi and Jenkins which took place in September 2021.
