Inverness busker Kim Gordon due in US court today
AN Inverness fugitive busker could be sent back to the UK from the US later today if an extradition hearing is successful.
Kim Gordon (55), who is also known as Kim Avis, is due to appear in court in Denver, Colorado, following his arrest on Friday.
He is facing 24 charges in Scotland which include five rapes, two cases of child sexual abuse, attempted rape, three sex assaults and four violent attacks.
Gordon is also accused of indecent behaviour towards a girl aged between 12 and 16 and coercing a person into being present during sexual activity, as well as three breach of the peace offences and the charges span a 20 year period from 1997 to 2017.
He is due in court at 1.30pm, or 8.30pm UK time, where a magistrate will consider the request for extradition back to the UK.
Gordon was due to face trial at the High Court in Edinburgh on March 11 but the busker and street trader went to the US on holiday a month earlier.
