Charles and Sharon were his adoptive parents. Nicky took out credit cards in Charles' name and racked up thousands of dollars of debt.
It's so unfair they didn't want to continue serving on his sham trust.

In addition to "Louise", the foundation was clearly contacted by someone alleging to be Alahverdien's lawyer link whom I also doubt exists. While there appear to be a few fairly prominent lawyers by this name, none are based on Cambridge.

BAIL FURY Sex fiend fugitive wanted for rape & kidnap charges in USA is freed on bail in Scotland – despite fears he offended here
Gordon Tait, 14 Jan 2022, Scottish Sun

A SEX fiend fugitive wanted over rape and kidnap charges in the US has been freed on bail in Scotland despite fears he may have struck here.

Nicholas Rossi, 34 — arrested in a Glasgow hospital following a near-fatal Covid battle — was discharged to a home address on curfew.

Prosecutors in the US warned there could be victims in Scotland. But Rossi was granted bail after appearing from his hospital bed before law chief Nigel Ross at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, and was discharged in the last fortnight.

The American — who also uses the surname Alahverdian — was put under a night-time curfew and cops have been ordered to check on him every day.

But a police source said: “He’ll use any name and pretend to be dead to keep one step ahead of justice — what else does he need to be accused of to get remanded? His release is a scandal.”

Rossi is suspected of crimes in four states and faces life behind bars if convicted. He evaded police for years by using at least 15 aliases, two passports and three driving licences in America and Scotland.

Rossi’s bail conditions order him to remain in Scotland, surrender his passport and stay in from 6pm-6am.

Last night Utah County Attorney David Leavitt said: “We have full faith and support of Police Scotland in this matter. Ultimately, the decision regarding bail is left to international courts until Mr Rossi is extradited.”
Utah prosecutor: 'It could take months' to extradite Alahverdian, who made bail in Scotland
Tom Mooney, 14 January, ProJo

Wherever Nicholas Alahverdian went, he left a trail of victimized women, a Utah prosecutor said Friday.

“He had victims in Utah, in Ohio, in Rhode Island and in Massachusetts,” County Attorney David Leavitt told The Journal. “And if he is as aggressive as everything appears to be toward women, there are likely victims in the United Kingdom.”

That’s where Alahverdian, 34, was hiding after faking his death in February 2020 to avoid, authorities say, a Utah rape charge, a fraud complaint in Ohio, and other sex assault allegations.

“And if there are victims in the United Kingdom,” said Leavitt, “it’s my guess he may never leave the United Kingdom” if he’s prosecuted there.

At the time, Alahverdian was using a rather appropriate Scottish alias: Arthur Knight.

The Scottish Sun reported Friday that Alahverdian had been granted bail after leaving the hospital with conditions that he abide by a nighttime curfew and that the police check on him daily.

Leavitt said he had heard Alahverdian may be home, but “We have to have confidence with our Scottish authorities to know what the circumstances are on the ground. I think from everyone’s estimate,” Alahverdian “is a flight risk. We also know he is a danger to society. But we are also not in Scotland and we don’t know what the realities of the situation are.”

Leavitt said he fully expected Alahverdian to fight extradition back to the United States; Alahverdian told an FBI agent who managed to call him in late in 2019 that he was living in Ireland because the country had no extradition treaty with the United States.

But Leavitt said Alahverdian’s strategy may fail if he entered the United Kingdom fraudulently.

“We presume he’s not in the country legally, because we presume, he used a fake name to get in there. And so, the question will be whether the British authorities kick him out because he entered on false pretenses.” With so many uncertainties at the moment, “there really is no timeline. It could be a number of months or longer” before Alahverdian returns to the United States.

And there is also this reality, he said: “There could be rape victims in Scotland. I don’t have any evidence of that. I’m just saying everywhere this man has gone he has victims.”

Leavitt said that since news of Alahverdian’s capture, at least two other women have come forward with allegations they were sexually assaulted by him.

He changed his name from Rossi to Knight on Simple WIkipedia back in 2006:

Seeing as Nick the Nicked has only just got out of intensive care, he may not be in a fit state to go on the lam again. Or maybe the polis* are hoping that he tries to, so they can summarily ship him back home without going through all the extradition kerfuffle.

Hi Louise,

You're probably busy brushing up on Scottish Law at this exact moment in time,
but if you are in 'contact' with Nicholas, I suggest he blames it all on that Cockram fella.

He's a notorious joe-jobber and troll, and admits to the extortion here:

Poor Nick has long been a target for joe-jobbers.

Sometimes I even went out in woods and I pitched a tent all by myself.
In 2008 however I got caught chokin’ a chicken on a public playground

While I was in prison I learned from my good friend Poyd G. Cracker,
that the exposure of my willy is a deathly sin
and I would only receive forgiveness by the blood atonement.
I knew he was telling the truth and i was willing to obey him.
So he anointed my willy with oil from his little factory.
Then he drew a flaming sword and destroyed my willy eternally.
I felt no pain at all,
because I had burning in my pants that overwhelmed me.
I knew from this moment on I will serve the Lord for the rest of my life
and I will destroy everyone within the righteous way of Mormonism.

I testify that fighting the purple helmet warrior will turn you into a faggot like me!
Stay away from the one-eyed snake!

I rebuke everyone who is rubbing one out by the power of my neverlasting Priesthood.

The Rhode Island con artist who faked his own death is finally getting his wish:
He’s newsworthy now

Dan McGowan, 14 January 2014, Boston Globe (Paywalled)
All Nicholas Alahverdian ever wanted was to be newsworthy...

He pursued that dream relentlessly over most of the last two decades, building relationships with reporters and politicians in Rhode Island by sharing tales of torture that he said he endured as a kid lost in the child welfare system.

His stories always grabbed attention. Journalists on deadline turned to him for quotes about work as an advocate, lawmakers took credit for introducing bills to reform the system, and Alahverdian was always willing to talk on the record.

So when a woman claiming to be his wife sent an e-mail to every news outlet in the state announcing that he had died of cancer in February 2020, the story wrote itself: A local advocate whom everyone in the local media knew was gone too soon.

I met him when I just was beginning my career in journalism, and still earning most of my income as a bartender. He came into the Gregg’s on North Main Street in Providence late one Saturday night with a woman and ordered a mojito that I didn’t know how to make.

I remember thinking that he might make a good source. He was around my age, seemed smart, and claimed to have relationships with all the major politicians. He also had a horrific personal story to tell about his experience as a kid with the Department of Children, Youth and Families — one of those, “if this is true, they’ll make a movie out of it” scoops that reporters dream about.

He would latch on to reporters, calling and texting about stories, always seeking to be quoted. He came across as annoyingly persistent, perhaps desperate, but I often answered the phone. Even now, we still have no proof that his claims about the DCYF system were false, especially since the agency settled the case.

There were other red flags, though.

He was arrested about 10 years ago in New England for failing to register as a sex offender after the 2008 case in Ohio. He attempted to sue the accuser and the state of Ohio; both cases were dismissed. He’d also disappear for months, sometimes years, at a time, before popping up again with a new story to tell, begging to be quoted or interviewed on television.

The cycle would repeat itself over and over. Journalists would feed the beast that is the news cycle, and Alahverdian would get his attention fix.

I hadn’t heard from Alahverdian in at least a year when I was received an e-mailed press release on Jan. 10, 2020, claiming that he was diagnosed with late-stage non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. There was no way to prove that he was ill, but it wasn’t at all surprising that he’d be seeking coverage of his impending death. Nearly two months later, reporters across the state received another announcement claiming that Alahverdian had died, and that his ashes had already been spread out at sea.

Bostonglobe.com ran an Associated Press story about Alahverdian’s death, but soon pulled the story down after I pointed out that something was suspicious. All of the information about his death came in a press release from an unknown person. Who was seeking the coverage if he was dead? Yes, he received a lot of attention from the local media. But he wasn’t actually famous beyond Rhode Island, and little to none of his advocacy had made national news. His death might be sad, but it wasn’t exactly a front page story.

Enter Louise, who claimed to be Alahverdian’s widow.

Minutes after the Globe removed the Associated Press story from its website, Louise sent a series of fiery e-mails to me and several top editors claiming “I am now weeping more than I ever have” and that “your reporters have made the healing process much worse by snuffing out Nicholas’ flickering flame while people are still mourning and grieving.”

The e-mails were sent using protonmail, an encrypted e-mail service, and though the e-mail address was always the same, the sender’s name alternated between “Alahverdian family” and “The Office of Nicholas Alahverdian.” Under Louise’s name, the signature read “Alahverdian Family Office, In memory of Nicholas Alahverdian, 1987-2020, Rest in Peace” and included a link to his website, which now promotes the “memorial” edition of his book.

An obituary posted on Everloved.com said his last words were “fear not and run toward the bliss of the sun.” It thanked a long list of people — including prominent Rhode Island politicians, local media outlets, and “all of Harvard University” —but did not identify his wife or children by name. The resolution read into the record at the Rhode Island State House soon after his death didn’t either, saying Alahverdian called his wife “my daisy.”

I agreed to a phone conversation with Louise, someone I had never met, and she called from a Google voice number. She had an English accent, and seemed to know a lot about me. She even mentioned my first meeting with Nicholas at Gregg’s 10 years earlier, even though she wasn’t either of the two women I knew he had married at different times in the US, and wasn’t the woman he was with that night at Gregg’s.

I explained that I needed more information to verify his death, like a death certificate. She told me that a church service had been planned for March 6, 2020, but refused to provide an address because she claimed the family was facing death threats.

After the call, Louise’s persistence in trying to get news coverage was eerily familiar. I have no way to know for sure who was e-mailing and calling me, but Louise and Nicholas shared the same media strategy.

Louise e-mailed and called several times a day, but I told her that COVID-19 was just beginning to hit Rhode Island, and that was going to dominate the news cycle for quite a while. I told her that I’d be glad to circle back in a few weeks.

“How will Nicholas’ death still be newsworthy after such a long time has elapsed?” she asked in another e-mail.

She forwarded my response to the Globe’s top editors. “Is this how the Boston Globe treats grieving widows whose late husbands are honored by the state House of Representatives and its Speaker with pending honors from the Senate and several Mayors? We have been waiting for an obituary for nearly two weeks. The way we’ve been treated by the Globe is not helpful in the grieving process,” she wrote.

Alahverdian will return to the United States soon, as the Utah Department of Public Safety said it is working with federal and international agencies to extradite him. He’ll face at least one sexual assault charge, although he was “a suspect in a number of similar offenses in Utah and throughout the United States after the 2008 incident,” the department said.

Turns out, he’s getting his wish. He’s plenty newsworthy now.

See he has only been accused of sexual assault in the United States. If he'd been accused of that in Sweden that would be different, a much more serious case, and he wouldn't be free to roam anywhere on bail.

As interesting a character as Rossi/Alahverdian/Knight is, this story is also interesting in what it reveals about how the profit-driven press operates (on deadline).

The guy was arrested a whole month ago, and released on bail something like two weeks ago, and we only learned about it after some law-enforcement official in Utah issued a press release that was churnalized.

His arrest wasn't done under seal, was it? Is there any Scottish press at all following reported arrests and judicial cases on a daily basis?

Wikipediocracy has better investigative reporters, working for free.

One of my savvier friends who is following this story through me remarked that this was perfect fodder for a true-crime podcast which, it seems, is where the real deep dives happen now that journalism has been completely gutted of resources. Maybe Wikipediocracy should pitch to those sorts instead. Traditional media just can't hack it these days.

Good thinking Mr iii, but the film has to take priority.

We've already got Scorsese onboard.
Dame Helen Mirren, Björk and Ian McShane are pretty much confirmed.
Ewan McGregor sounds quite keen, and I'm currently in talks with De Niro's people about a possible cameo role.
Keanu won't return my calls anymore, unfortunately, and Peppermint says she's washing her hair.

I'll leave it to you to figure out who's meant to be playing whom.

Anyway... I do hope the locals give Nick their customary warm welcome

I've been watching a lot of true crime docs recently and I could totally see this as Netflix Limited Series.

Episode one: he's totally a creep
Episode two: actually he was abused and mistreated and all these people like him
Episode three: he's dead
Episode four: PSYCHE! Not only is he alive, he was totally a creep all along.

Surely, we need to get Tony Curtis to play Louise Alahverdien? He demonstrated in Some Like it Hot that he is more than capable of filling such a role, and while being dead might rule out casting for most parts, it surely need not apply here. We need to think outside the box (or urn)...

There's also the episode on Mormonism and ex-Mormonism. Then there is the episode on Men's Rights Activism. Then there's the episode on enrolling in all sorts of different institutions of higher education and having to leave for one reason or another. Then there is the episode on Rhode Island politics and local media.

It's Better Call Saul meets A Confederacy of Dunces. It practically writes itself.

Subject: Providence Journal article
============ Forwarded message ============

This email is off the record and confidential. This is for your internal use only and I would kindly ask that you not forward this outside of your newspaper.

Dear Mr. Mooney, Mr. McDermott, and Mr. Meyer,

I write to you as I am very concerned because not only was I not contacted for the story but I have not been contacted since I emailed you requesting that Tom seek comment from me earlier this week. It does not seem anyone wants to contact me.

I most certainly did not write a "5 page email." I have not communicated with you since the time of my husband's passing.

It appears that someone impersonating me has been speaking to Tom and this has resulted in a story full of errors and mistakes.

Had I been contacted I would have provided proof that there was no warrant in the summer of 2020 because a judge ordered and a prosecutor agreed in May 2019 that my husband did not have to register in Rhode Island at all since he did not live in Rhode Island or the U.S. The charge of failure to register was later sealed and ordered to expunge. It wouldn't make sense even if my husband was alive to file another charge less than a year later that he failed to register when the attorney general's office and the judge Patrick Burke agreed with Jeff Pine in May 2019 that he did not need to register since he was not in the state or the country. In January 2020 Judge Burke ordered that he did not have to register and also ordered that the board acted improperly against my husband and we had yet another victory in court which the prosecutor eventually came around to supporting as well. I will gladly provide you the documentary proof that you need and you can verify with the court. So if you are being told that my husband was required to comply with registering or that there was a warrant, it is untrue and against the orders of the court that he did not have to register since he did not live, work, or study in Rhode Island. .

We actually hired Jeff a second time to ensure that he did not have to register and that his name would never appear in the registry as he did not live in Rhode Island and never returned to the United States. The court, again with Judge Burke, ordered that my husband's information be removed from the website when the parole board tried to keep him on the website as an offender, and again said that the Board acted improperly and treated my husband unfairly. Obviously if my husband was violating these offender rules as Kevin Barry said, he would first have to be an offender. He is not even on the website. The court had already said he was not an offender and did not have to register, and the court later on went further and ordered all of his information off of the registration website. So how could he be subjected to these registration requirements if the court and already ruled that he was not a sex offender and did not have to register?

Also this case was from January 2008. My husband no idea what was going on because he was still recovering from the impact that Florida and Nebraska had had on him with the abuse and overmedication. Again he was dragged to yet another place by Charlie and Sharon Lane where he was immediately placed in the local Mormon church for young adults. This was a very horrible experience for him as he was not allowed to talk about anything except church subjects and topics. And not things like church doctrine such as the notion that men can become gods or polygamy, because that would make Nicholas an "apostate" and then he said that if he became that, he would be made homeless. So the fact that he was living with them was not his choice at all, it was ordered by Judge Jeremiah yet again. When Nicholas was falsely accused of two misdemeanors he was not allowed to have a jury trial. There was no evidence at all to support the false accusers claim. And there were no witnesses. The state statue under which he was convicted requires that evidence other than the alleged victims' testimony be used to convict. There was no other evidence.

And the municipal court judge not only failed to give my husband a jury trial but he also told him to "shut up" each time my husband wanted to testify. That means my husband was not allowed to have any written or oral or video/audio recording of his statement before the court. The police officer from the community college said that my husband confessed to the allegations in an interview but the officer had no proof of this. The only people to testify were the accuser who changed her story multiple times and the police officer who repeated what the accuser said and fabricated a confession from my husband and claimed that he agreed with what the allegations were of kissing and groping et cetera but that she (the accuser) was the aggressor of the contact. There was no evidence of any kind and my husband was never interviewed.

Conveniently enough this officer also failed to disclose that he was fired from the city police department for misconduct and lying, and also was recommended to not be hired by the city hiring board because he had done hard drugs, and he had acted as a lookout as his girlfriend stole purses. As a policeman he was involved in several incidents of brutality and abuse which required him to be placed on leave several times. None of that information was given to my husband oh it is public defender which is required under a precedent decision from the United States Supreme Court because it is probative of the government witness character and ability to be honest. This evidence should've been released to the prosecutor to the public defender.

The public defender did absolutely nothing and didn't even interview my husband prior to the bench trial. She did not object to the proceedings even when the judge told my husband to shut up when he demanded the jury trial. She also said nothing when it was discovered that the false accuser admitted to perjuring herself because she claimed that my husband casually walked up to her out of the blue when this was actually the second date and he stood her up on the first date because he did not have a chaperone to come with him according to his then-Mormon faith. I have read the trial transcript and all the appellate documents and can provide these to you as well.

Also I think you will be amazed to find out that the so-called expert did not review a digital copy or the web page itself. He only looked at a printout. My husband could never understand that even when the webpage was still live at the time of the hearing and it proved his innocence they never took the opportunity to treat them fairly because they wanted the conviction as yet another point for their side, and overturned decisions look very bad for prosecutors and judges.

I find it very suspect that you chose to give a full rundown of the false allegations and the appeal that was not conducted fairly at all without the digital copy in hand But yet you did not mention that my husband fought this for years and tried so very hard to ensure that his name would be cleared. He pleaded not guilty and 13 years later no one person has come forward to say that they witnessed a sexual assault in a hallway nor has there been any evidence that would prove the girls statement that the police took photos of the semen all over the wall. It's interesting because if they took photos and chose not to give them to the public defender that would also support my husbands claim of innocence because the girl swore up-and-down in the trial transcript that there were photos of semen all over the wall yet no photos have ever been produced and no discovery of a bodily fluid was ever made. And had this testing been done it would've been a felony but they decided to merely keeping my husband silent and making sure he didn't testify and didn't get a jury to look him in the eye.

That was enough to convict him. But you felt the need to recycle these allegations which have no proof whatsoever and include them in an article with multiple other allegations which have no proof whatsoever, and you claim that my husband, who was notorious for defending himself and fighting for what was right, was responsible for all of these evil works and even ignoring a call from an FBI agent when the evidence which you will hopefully review will prove that claim absolutely incorrect as my husband spent hours trying to figure out what was going on and these clerks and agents and attorneys would say "nothing" or "don't call us" or "if we need you we'll call you." My husband told Jeff Pine of his diagnoses in mid 2018 and we and he has email proof and a recorded phone call of that conversation so how he thinks the disclosure of illnesses was weeks before his death is questionable. Especially since the May 2019 documents that the prosecutor requested to dismiss the failure to register case were medical documents talking about my husband's latest heart attack at that time. I am not saying that Jeff is lying. It is just strange that he is saying the discussion about the heart attack and cancer was only in December 2019 when our recorded phone calls and emails prove otherwise.

Back to Rhode Island, Jeff Pine argued that these misdemeanors would be equivalent to disorderly conduct since there was no evidence of any sexual assault and my husband had no opportunity to submit a statement of any kind. I have already sent you the judge's order to expunge and dismissal orders. My husband never returned to Rhode Island or to the United States since he left in June 2017 and he passed away in February 2020. There would have been no cause to charge him with "failure to register" again unless we moved back there and he failed to speak with the court. As people who aren't US citizens and with my husband having been deceased sense February 2020 whether you choose to believe it or not, we would find moving anytime since April 2020 hard to do.

Secondly you said that the FBI contacted my late husband and chose not to respond and ignored their communication when they attempted to reach him. That is completely false.

If I was contacted for the story I would have supplied you with emails and telephone call recordings from December 2019, nearly 3 years after he left the United States, that prove that my husband was the one who contacted the FBI and they told him that they did not want to speak to him.

Because they refused to speak to him and because he was treated so badly on the phone when he was trying to understand what this was all about he emailed the top US attorney for Ohio Dave Devillers and explained how he was treated and that he was hung up on when he was trying to comply with a potential investigation. Jeff Pine received a copy of that message. I would be happy to share it with you and Jeff can confirm that it is legitimate and from my husband. Nicholas asked Jeff to see what allegations were made and Jeff was able to confirm the allegations. An allegation is much different than a court case or arrest.

My husband did not know that Charles and Sharon Lane lied, most likely as retaliation for him leaving the Mormon church and not speaking with them any longer because they treated him as a Mormon "apostate", but was told by in October 2019 that someone filed a complaint with the FBI. I and my husband before he passed had no clue what this had to deal with until your article published earlier this week said Sharon had filed the claim with the FBI.

Nicholas said in this email to the US attorney that he speculated that this was the work of <redacted> a long time political enemy, the Mormon church who threatened to destroy his life if he left the church (I have proof of this as well), or his ex-wife who unfortunately suffered from schizophrenia, bipolar, and narcolepsy. I have photographs and audio recordings of my husband being beaten and physically hurt by this woman and I have photographs of what happened to him.

Even if a complaint was made it doesn't mean anything came of that complaint. There certainly wasn't a court case or any legal proceeding prior to my husband's passing. The FBI was never "hunting down" my husband and they didn't even want to talk to him on the telephone.

What you have said is completely untrue. Jeff Pine did not lie intentionally but he certainly did not remember the situation as it happened which I can prove with email that he has a copy of. While my husband gave Jeff contact information for an FBI contact given to him by someone assigned to look at the accusation (which is provably false) an answer about who or what this involved did not appear while he was alive.

I have since learned that this allegation was made in July 2016 (my husband left the US for good in July 2017) and my husband was told by Sharon herself that she would falsely accuse him of fraud if he left the church but dismissed it as an empty threat because he had already received multiple threats from her since she felt she and the church had done so much for Nicholas and he was leaving them. In reality Nicholas discovered that the church was a fraud and started by a man, Joseph Smith, who sexually assaulted 14-year-old girls and sent men who joined his church to other nations as missionaries so that he could marry their wives. That's a fact and I don't have time to find a source at the moment. So if Sharon wants to complain that her false allegation from July 2016 that she made in retaliation for Nicholas leaving the Mormon cult was never brought to court and he was never charged, and the investigation was never made public, presumably because it was false then that is her business. And I have proof of that as well which I am willing to share with you.

If asked about this claim from Sharon Lane I would be prepared to show you documents that prove that these were Mr. Lane's cards and loans applied for and issued at the instruction of the Mormon Church Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and Quorum of the Seventy and their committees. Charles was to be reimbursed for these loans and cards through Ensign Peak Advisors, a for profit investment company owned by the church and which is being investigated by the IRS for tax fraud such as this as well as other illegal activities. I can prove that Charles applied and signed for them and they were notarized by a public notary.

My husband and Charles (who were very close until Nicholas left the church because he learned it was founded by a fraudulent con man (which you ironically imply my husband is in your article through Sharon's comments and comments from others)) worked on developing a non-profit that was to be secretly funded by Ensign Peak Advisors, and my husband exposed this to a reporter from the Washington Post after a story about suspected Mormon financial and tax fraud through Ensign Peak was published prior to Nicholas' February 2020 death. And I am quite sure that the post reporter will speak to you if I asked him to do so.

The story was leaked by an employee of EPA and Nicholas wanted to share his experience of how EPA reimbursed people who acted on behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints secretly so that they would not lose their tax exempt status as a church even though they participated in political activities and other things that are not allowed by the IRS.

Charles and Nicholas were chosen by church leadership to do this based on "are a calling from God" according to the Mormon leaders who they met with in October 2015 during the General Conference of the church, including Russell Nelson and Dallin Oaks who are now senior church leaders. My husband was to work with Charles in implementing a plan that would see Mormon political influence seep into the corridors of power where the Mormon leaders felt they could have decisions made by an introduction. They felt that my husband's experience in politics and government was a benefit and the church routinely "calls" people to work in positions that suit their skills as an employee or as a service missionary.They are literally "callings from God." In this case he was both. There was no theft or fraud. There was an establishment of an organization that the church wanted to be kept independent of their name so that they could influence public officials.

The Lanes were a burden on my husband's life. Because Charles was my husband's Bishop he exercised great power over his every move and my husband was not able to do anything without his approval. Charles was a tyrant who made sure that Nicholas adhered to all Mormon standards and protocols but he also forced my husband to not report the abuse that he suffered at the hands of very powerful individual because he was to practice the "gift of forgiveness" when they knocked on his door Jehovah's Witness style in August 2005 and he was what they called a golden convert because he agreed with everything they said and agreed to be baptized. My husband was suffering from withdrawal symptoms and had just returned from Florida where he was tortured.

Of course he was going to let these people who spoke about families and faith in Jesus Christ into his life because he had just returned from a two year exile after being court ordered to Nebraska and Florida because he exposed abuse in the DCYF night to night program and Judge Jeremiah was tired of the bad press he received from your newspaper. I've read all of the articles. You should too. They found him only months after he returned from Florida in 2005 and was very vulnerable after being so violently abused and overmedicated. They made him join their church. They forced him to move to Ohio since Charles was Nicholas' bishop and he said it was a "revelation from God." And Sharon says that there was nothing from his "past life" from his obituary? Of course not. Why would he want to remember being forced to do things because lay clergy who were not professionally trained told him what to do because God told them that he needed to do it? Of course he tried to forget that time in life because it ruined part of his life just like the mormon church has ruined so many other lives.

And she claims that everything on the memorial site was written by Nick himself? Well you are all journalists. Contact Bea Lanzi. Contact John O'Leary. Contact Ed Brady. Contact Greg Pare. Contact professor John Hamilton from Harvard University. Contact Anne Grant the long time fellow lobbyist for family unification who works with Nicholas. Ask them whether or not they wrote their memorials to him. Oh, and Mark Arsenault too who said in his memorial he worked for your paper. So if you want to print the ridiculous claims of a deaf woman who made a frivolous and false allegation against my husband because he made a decision to leave a church that was psychologically and emotionally coercive and controlling at least make sure that when she starts talking about the other people who left comments and memorials actually left them or not. Because I'm pretty sure one of you or your colleagues still speaks with Mark or any of the above mentioned individuals. Yet you have taken the word of a cruel woman who was very nasty to my husband after what I heard about her. And believe it or there was a memorial left from her! She claimed that she was "happy to see Nick achieved his dreams", presumably having a family. Yet she then says the "birth mother" contact her and immediately knew that the "death was fake?" Which story is true? Is she leaving a memorial or is she convinced that she's a victim of fraud and not believing that he is dead? I deleted the original but have a screenshot of her comment.

You call her foster mother and Charles was the foster father? Where is that proof? When in fact Charles was Nicholas' Bishop and Nicholas was an elder and a "Melchizedek priest" in the church and he had to follow every order from Charles as if it was from God himself. Only when Nicholas returns to his Catholic faith and I start taking him to Mass again soes he remember the peace and tranquillity from spirituality. All Charlie and Sharon did along with the church that used him for their profit making enterprises which he left willingly did for him was cause more sadness and more uncertainty in his tragic life. I am so glad that he had peace for his final years because he wasn't a slave to a fake church built on lies and he wasn't hurt by people in positions of religious authority any longer.

You have written a very poor story that reflects horribly on the facts as they happened. I am shocked but then again this, of course if it were true, would go viral. You have called my husband a sex offender when a court has said he is not. You allowed a woman to call him a fraud and talk about multiple fraudulent credit cards and loans when no charges were ever brought. You have claimed that he faked his death to avoid prosecution when he left the country that hurt him so much years before he knew anything of any allegations or investigation. This is not fair.

So not only is your viral story impacting our family and Nicholas' family in Rhode Island but now I have so many hours that I will have to spend, taking a significant amount of time from my family, providing evidence against each of your claims. I may have assistance from the family office which you found some reason to put in quotation marks as if it doesn't exist, but it does indeed since we are frequently helping people aging out of foster care and managing several other business projects and initiatives all of which have been put into question with your recent allegations or repeating false allegations. We also need assistance with the clients that we serve through the NA trust and we also need help archiving Nicholas' books, diaries, journals, documents, and other matter, and editing his manuscripts among other duties that require a staff.

While I have no problem doing this, I would like confirmation that you will delete the story and apologize if I provide sufficient proof to you that these statements and claims in your article are not true.

I would also ask that you contact the associated press, the Boston Globe, USA today, and any other news agency that chose to publish what you wrote or its abbreviated version and inform them that you were not accurate, so long as I provide the sufficient proof that meets your standards.

And as we cannot turn back time I understand that this may be the case. However if you could at least make an effort to contact the family or official representatives of an individual that you want to do a story about please see if they have an official website, which we obviously do.

I kindly ask that you reply by Monday with an answer about what I have suggested above. I need to know if you are willing to correct the errors that I am confident you will acknowledge once you receive the evidence. But I must tell you that what you have done to my husband is very serious and very sad. You have been very unfair by not contacting the NA trust website first. I don't know who you have been speaking with but you should know that any claim about my husband is always defended properly and with respect.

I would also request that you delete the full statement that there was a warrant for the arrest of my husband as I have proved that to be untrue. The charges were dropped and the case was sealed and ordered to be expunge by Judge Burke and Judge Raspallo. It was also ordered that my husband did not have to register at all by Judge Burke. The police cannot unilaterally decide that someone has to register if a court has made a decision and determination that they do not have to register, which is what Mr. Pine secured for us. The longer this false statement remains on the Internet the longer people are going to think that my husband died or as you say faked his death with this warrant on his name which is completely not true. I also ask that you delete the comments attributed to me as I did not make them. I have not authorized anyone to speak for the family except Nicholas' uncle Mike Alahverdian, who now isn't speaking to me because he thinks I have destroyed the family name.

I stood by my husband every step of the way and spoke with Jeff Pine when my husband was in chemotherapy and could not speak. By the way I will also provide emails and phone calls that prove that my husband told Jeff that he was very ill and suffering heart attacks and undergoing scans back in 2018. Again I don't think Jeff is intentionally lying about these things but he certainly isn't getting them 100% correct and he is a very busy man.

Warmly,
Louise Alahverdian
My husband was perfectly sane and these certificates prove it

I have attached two letters from my late husband's doctors including Drs. Hunt and Tennenbaum. One says he was not ever treated in 20 years for sexual acting out, and the other says he does not need treatment and was a "low risk of acting out statistically there being no such thing as "no risk."

As interesting a character as Rossi/Alahverdian/Knight is, this story is also interesting in what it reveals about how the profit-driven press operates (on deadline).
One of my savvier friends who is following this story through me remarked that this was perfect fodder for a true-crime podcast which, it seems, is where the real deep dives happen now that journalism has been completely gutted of resources. Maybe Wikipediocracy should pitch to those sorts instead. Traditional media just can't hack it these days.

Tom Mooney follows up today after speaking to the woman in Ohio that Nicky assaulted. She said she hadn't thought about him in years until an FBI agent called up and asked if she would go to Utah to help establish a case against him there.

A woman in Ohio met Nick Alahverdian for lunch. Then he sexually assaulted her. (yahoo link because you only get a few free reads at ProJo)

Here's a synonymous story from last year.

Scottish Man Who Faked His Death in California Is Jailed for Rape
It is not uncommon for the police to receive calls about people in distress at Monastery Beach in California — known locally as Mortuary Beach because of its deadly undertow and steep drop into the ocean.

So when a teenager told the authorities that his father had not returned from a late afternoon swim there in February 2019, the authorities got to work, sending divers, a helicopter and a drone to search the chilly waters off Carmel, just south of Monterey Bay. But the reported disappearance of Kim Avis, a 57-year-old man from Scotland, struck investigators as off from the beginning.

And they were right.

After an investigation that lasted months and spanned states and continents, Mr. Avis was sentenced last week in a Scottish court to 15 years in prison on charges of rape and sexual assault, an end investigators said he had tried to avoid by faking his death on the coast of one of California’s most scenic beaches.

I don't think it's completely staged - the woman doesn't sound like she's in on it.
Lalahverdian wrote:This is from over five years ago. It sounds like he called her an "idiot" and she threatened to go to the police and say he assaulted her. Nick said he called her an idiot because she was driving after drinking but that this verbal abuse was commonplace.
Nick is definitely playing up to the microphone, though.
He can barely contain his glee when he thinks she's fallen into his trap at 3:07.

Lalahverdian wrote:This proves people would stop at nothing to get him in trouble if they wanted. I have several audio recordings of many people who threatened and hurt him over the years which he wanted released. I convinced him to let it go, that people would stop targeting him. Since I am wrong and I had the permission to disclose it I think you should hear it because it is an example. People used Nick for whatever they wanted and threatened him when they didn't get their way.

yeah, he's pretty obviously trying to get her to explicitly admit she planned to lie to the cops. She seems to suspect he maybe recording. They both seem sad and pathetic.

After reading those exchanges, I am really starting to feel bad for Louise. Imagine your husband faking his death and running off to Scotland without you. There she is, valiantly defending the honor of a man she believes to be dead while not knowing that he's actually living in up in some sunny Scottish beachfront villa. And then finding out that he is actually not only alive, but possibly not the wonderful person that he seemed to be around her and the children. It's enough to make one weep. I just wonder whose ashes they scattered at sea...?

Come for the soothing monotone, stay for the jokes.

Matter of Fact Dr Grande
Hello, it's Dr Grande. I am sitting directly in front of my camera because I am recording a YouTube video. I kind of look like a manager of a stationery store circa 1993.

The Editor-in-Chief of Mother Jones has also fallen down the Alahverdian rabbit hole: https://twitter.com/ClaraJeffery/status ... 7986934785!!
Maybe we should call it the A-hole?
