He is someone that needs to be put on trial for rape.

We had sexual assault kits that had been sitting on police shelves for years.

So we engaged in a partnership between the United States Department of Justice and the state of Utah to test all of these old rape kits.

We got a hit, and that hit was a hit for a registered sex offender in the state of Ohio.

In 2008, the victim in this case said that she had been raped and she voluntarily went through the rape exam and the police were called. The case died at the police station and was never sent to the county attorney's office.

And that two weeks later, they met in person and they began a sexual relationship that lasted for a brief period of time. At the same time, Nicholas Rossi was taking money from her with the promise that he would pay it back and never did.

He shut the door and began to just kind of put pressure on her to have sex. He took her clothes off and raped her.

No, it wouldn't be easy at all.

Well, we didn't believe he was dead.

If you look at the timeline, Nicholas Rossi or Nicholas Oliverdian's death occurred while we were in the midst of this investigation.

Our investigators knew that he was not dead.

And that resulted in the Scottish authorities arresting him.

It is. It's fortunate.

When the Scottish authorities looked at him in a hospital room in Scotland, they were satisfied that Nicholas Rossi was, in fact, the same person that is wanted in the state of Utah.

No, I'll give him that. He took it to a new level. It's over.

No, Nicholas Rossi, I'll give him that. He took it to a new level.

He accused my wife and I of being human traffickers, of being cannibals, of being murderers.

We didn't think it was too thrilling for us.

That this all occurs less than one week before ballots drop. in an election in which I am participating, causes me tremendous concern.

Well, there's no way to defend yourself in this culture.

He did cost me my job, but the reality is how many women will never be raped because of what we did?

Well, huge. Yeah, I mean, it's a game changer.

Oh, huge. Yeah, I mean, it's a game changer.

Well, I mean, I give the same... I'm out of credence to that story as I do the allegation that I hired someone to put a tattoo on his arm in Scotland.

If I'm claiming not to be the person I am, then that paints me as a flight risk, so I'm not going to get bail.

I had a choice to make. The choice was simple. Do I save my political career or do I do my job? And take the man down.

It seems to get crazier by the minute.
