THE ex-wife of fugitive serial sex attacker Nicholas Rossi has told how the "monster" should never walk free from prison.

Kathryn Heckendorn says she has been left with a "lifetime of trauma" after being married to Rossi, who faked his own death to try to evade justice.

She spoke out from the US as the 38-year-old was sentenced to 10 years behind bars after being convicted of two rapes.

Heckendorn met Rossi, who she knew as Nick Alahverdian, when she was 26 and married him soon after they met in 2015.

She said: "Ten years, 20 years, whatever - it's not going to be enough. He will never rehabilitate.

"He has lived this life of lies and deceit and manipulation since he was a child. He will never change and if he ever does get out he will revert right back to it.

"I just pray that he stays in prison for life - the monster can't be free."
