YouTube Description
as posted by the channel#NicholasAlahverdian’s obituary detailed how the man became a Harvard Graduate and a vocal critic of Rhode Island’s childcare system after suffering sexual abuse while in foster care. But Alahverdian’s death was a lie, an elaborate scheme created by Nicholas Rossi, to avoid responsibility for several felony charges against him.
While a student at Sinclair Community College in Ohio, Nicholas Alahverdian, using the name Rossi, was convicted of public indecency and sexual imposition and was required to register as a sex offender after groping a fellow student. Two years later, Alahverdian please no contest to domestic simple assault for slapping his girlfriend during an argument. Alahverdian's DNA is present in a Utah rape case, and fraud charges also land in Alahverdian's lap. This is when he fakes his death and heads overseas. Utah authorities issue a warrant for his arrest seven months after he supposedly died. An FBI search of Alahverdian’s iCloud account and cell phone records lead investigators to Scotland where '#ArthurKnight' is being treated for Covid-19.
As 'Knight', Alahverdian had been living a happy new life, married to a woman named Miranda and working as a tutor. Then Alahverdian suffered a serious case of pneumonitis, caused by Covid-19. Someone recognized Alahverdian from distinctive tattoos that matched those from a Pawtucket police booking photo. In December 2021, the convicted sex offender was arrested in a Glasgow hospital. For two years, Alahverdian fought extradition to the U.S., but ultimately the courts ruled he was a wanted fugitive, and agreed to send him home.
