Essex Police confirmed they had arrested a 36-year-old man in connection with a historic rape allegation.
A fugitive due to be extradited from Scotland to the US has been arrested in connection with an alleged rape in Essex.
Nicholas Rossi, 36, was arrested on Wednesday morning in connection with reports of an alleged rape which took place in Chelmsford in 2017, according to the BBC. Following a lengthy extradition hearing earlier this year, an order was signed last week to have Rossi sent back to the US to face alleged rape charges in Utah.
Rossi initially came to the attention of the authorities after he became ill with Covid-19 and was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow in December 2021. A spokesperson for Essex Police said: “Officers investigating a non-recent allegation of rape in Chelmsford, which was made to us in April 2022, have arrested a 36-year-old a man.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
