A jury in Salt Lake County found Nicholas Rossi guilty of a 2008 rape after a three-day trial in which his accuser and her parents took the stand. The verdict came hours after Rossi, 38, declined to testify on his own behalf. He will be sentenced in the case on October 20 and is set to stand trial in September for another rape charge in Utah County.
First-degree felony rape carries a punishment in Utah of five years to life in prison, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said.
