A Scottish court ruled on Friday that a man arrested on a COVID-19 hospital ward is an American accused of rape who allegedly faked his own death two years ago.
An Edinburgh court ruled that the suspect who has spent the past year claiming to an orphan from Ireland - who has never been to the United States - is Nicholas Rossi, a man U.S. prosecutors say is linked to rape and sexual assault allegations.
The man who says his name was Arthur Knight was first arrested by police in October last year after checking himself in to a hospital in Glasgow with COVID-19.
