Western Daily Press

A MAN who fled from the United States to the UK after he appeared to fake his own death to avoid rape charges, has been sentenced to at least five years in prison.

- RYAN MCDOUGALL

While on the run he spent some time hiding out in South Bristol.

Nicholas Rossi, 38, originally from Rhode Island in the US, was sentenced by district judge Barry Lawrence in Salt Lake City, Utah.

It was the first of two sentences handed to Rossi, who was found guilty of a second rape charge in September. Both offences took place in northern Utah in 2008.

Rossi, whose legal name is Nicholas Alahverdian, will be sentenced for the second conviction on November 4. His first sentence will be carried out at the Utah State Correctional Facility and will begin immediately.
