Convicted sex offender and former A Voice for Men staffer Nicholas Alahverdian faces three new accusations of sexual assault

The last time we reported on the strange tale of convicted sex offender and former A Voice for Men staffer Nicholas Alahverdian, he was in Scotland awaiting extradition to the US on sexual assault charges in Utah. He was also telling whoever would listen — in a fake posh English accent — that he wasn’t Nicholas Alahverdian at all but rather a professor from Bristol, England named Arthur Knight, a victim of mistaken identity.

Well, a lot of things have happened since them, none of them good for poor Dr. Knight Nicholas Alahverdian, now sitting in a Glasgow jail awaiting extradition. Let’s just go through some of them.

Alahverdian’s claim to be not-Alahverdian has been conclusively refuted, as “Dr. Knight’s” fingerprints turn out to match those taken earlier from Alahverdian, who had faked his own death and taken on several new identities in various places in the UK and Ireland. He still seems to be referring to himself as Knight, but in the real world this particular jig is up.

He’s been charged with two more counts of sexual assault by prosecutors in Utah after several more woman came forward with similar stories of sexual assault at the hands of Alahverdian. That makes three women in total — in Utah. Alahverdian has also been accused of, if not yet charged with, sexual assault and other crimes in three other states. He was previously convicted of sexual assault in Ohio. All in all, he has allegedly attacked eight different women.

Last week, he was found guilty of “threatening and abusive behavior” against hospital staffers, who fled his hospital room in terror when he jumped out of bed and chased after them, screaming “whore” and “slut” after they told him he was going to be released from the hospital as doctors there couldn’t find anything wrong with him.

Did I mention that he has been claiming to be an invalid who requires an oxygen tank and a wheelchair? I guess that lie has been busted as well.

A woman in England has come forward with accusations of rape at the hands of Alahverdian, briefly her boyfriend back in 2017. She says that their 5-month relationship was turbulent and that he is a “serial liar” and “master manipulator” who has perfected the art of playing the victim while victimizing others.

The Ohio woman sexually assaulted by Alahverdian back in 2008 has spoken to a newspaper to tell her story of the five-year campaign of abuse he inflicted on her — ultimately with the help of A Voice for Men — after he was convicted of assaulting her in a hallway. She told the Daily Record that “[t]he attack in the hallway was nothing compared to years of being dragged through the mud.”

I can’t help but wondering how many more accusers may emerge before this sordid story reaches its conclusion, hopefully with Alahverdian in prison for a long time.

If you find any of the above details confusing, sorry! It’s a very confusing story. I’d recommend taking a look at my two previous posts on the case and, for more details, Alahverdian’s Wikipedia page.
