SALT LAKE CITY — A suspect who is connected to at least two different sexual assaults was arrested and will be extradited to Utah after a sexual assault kit was tested and a case from 2008 was reopened.
In 2017, as part of the Sex Assault Kit Initiative, the kit was submitted for testing and in 2018, a DNA profile linked the Utah case to a sexual assault case in Ohio. In both cases, the suspect was a man named Nicholas Rossi. With the help of multiple investigators from other states and agencies, Rossi was discovered to be living under an assumed name in Scotland and was taken into custody. The Utah County Attorney's Office is working to extradite him back to Utah.
