A new three-part documentary series on Channel 4 will look into the case of fugitive rape suspect Nicholas Rossi. The programme, which is being produced by Bristol based Five Mile Films, will explore the shocking story of the 35-year-old who allegedly faked his own death in 2020 to avoid prosecution in Utah.
Rossi, who is also known as Nicholas Alahverdian, has at least 14 other aliases and was arrested after waking up from a Covid-induced coma at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow in December 2021.
He has been locked up in HMP Edinburgh and is battling extradition to the United States where he is wanted on rape charges in Utah. Rossi is also a convicted sex offender, an alleged conman and the prime-suspect in at least three alleged rapes.
