A prosecutor in the US who fought to extradite fugitive rape suspect Nicholas Rossi has told how the case led to him buying a £1million Scottish castle.
Former Utah county attorney David Leavitt is the new owner of A-listed Knockderry Castle in Helensburgh, Argyll. He left his job last month amid controversy surrounding the Rossi case.
Leavitt had been tracking the American sex offender, who was traced to a Covid ward at a Glasgow hospital and is now in Edinburgh’s Saughton Prison awaiting extradition. The attorney told the Record the Rossi case was largely responsible for him losing out on re-election to his Republican role.
