FUGITIVE Nicholas Rossi has been arrested in connection with non-recent rape in Essex.
Rossi, 36, is understood to have been transferred from Scotland to a prison in England and will be quizzed by cops following a report made in April last year.

A spokesman for Essex Police said: “Officers investigating a non-recent allegation of rape in Chelmsford, which was made to us in April 2022, have arrested 36-year-old a man.
“After liaising with the appropriate authorities, Essex Police officers arrested the man on suspicion of rape this morning, Wednesday October 11.
“He remains in custody for questioning.”
Rossi has been in custody at HM Prison Edinburgh in Scotland, but will be quizzed by Essex Police today, it’s understood.
It comes after an extradition order was approved by Scottish ministers last week.
A court ruled in August there was no impediment to the 35-year-old being extradited and the decision was then placed before Scottish ministers.
In a short statement, the Scottish Government said: “The Scottish Ministers have made their decision regarding Mr Nicholas Rossi and signed an extradition order on 28 September 2023.”
