A suspected rapist who apparently faked his own death called a convicted child sex offender to the witness box in his extradition case.
He insists he is Arthur Knight, an Irish orphan who has never been to America, and that he is a victim of mistaken identity.
Last November, however, a Scottish court ruled that he was the suspect American authorities have been attempting to track down. Rossi was first arrested in December 2021 at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where he had been receiving care for COVID. As the extradition proceedings draw to a close, the 35-year-old called a fellow prison inmate in Edinburgh as a witness.
William King, 59, who was convicted of molesting three children, said Rossi had been treated"abysmally" in the Scottish jail.
