Fingerprint evidence will on Monday disprove bizarre claims by American sex offender Nicholas Rossi that police have the wrong man. The 35-year-old, who claims he is an Irishman called Arthur Knight, will face the start of a four-day extradition hearing.
The Sunday Mail has seen US court documents filed in the state of Utah which finally disprove his wild claims. They show how the “defendant was fingerprinted in Scotland which provided his real identity”.
That identity will be the first thing dealt with by the sheriff at tomorrow’s hearing in Edinburgh Sheriff Court. US authorities want to prosecute him on two rapes and one sex assault charge.
