Nicholas Rossi: Fugitive appears in US court as rape case goes ahead

The court heard from former Detective Derek Coats, who had been assigned to Utah’s sexual assault initiative and led the investigation into a reported attack involving Mr Rossi in the city of Orem in 2008.

Mr Coats, who now works for the Utah department of corrections, said that after taking charge of the investigation in 2020 he was contacted by another woman as a result of media attention in the case.

“MS (the woman) reached out and indicated that she had a relationship with the individual on the news media,” he told the court. “She knew him as Nicholas Rossi.”

The court heard that Det Coates interviewed the woman in January 2022 and that she alleged that Nicholas Rossi sexually assaulted her.

At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, Judge Barry Lawrence ruled there was probable cause to believe the facts presented by the prosecutor in the case.

He scheduled an arraignment hearing for mid-October.

Mr Rossi is also facing a separate allegation of rape in Salt Lake County.
