A SALSA dance teacher has been found guilty of violently raping one of his students.

Jurors today found Joseph Lantelli, 42, guilty of twice raping a vulnerable woman, once during a dance lesson and once at his home.

After reaching their verdict the jury was told the married Salsa instructor is already serving a jail term for two sexual assaults on an 18-year-old dancer.

The court heard the two cases were 'very similar' because Lantelli sexually abused both women during private lessons at Capone's nightclub in Dursley.

Italian-born Lantelli, of Podsmead, Gloucester, sobbed uncontrollably as he was told he faces the possibility of a life behind bars.
