Remzi Bektasovski, 22, a Wollongong martial arts instructor and DJ, found guilty of rape
A Wollongong martial arts instructor and part-time DJ has been found guilty of raping a teenager four years ago.
Remzi Bektasovski stood trial accused of sexually assaulting three women in late 2016 and early 2017.
After three days of deliberations, the jury of five women and seven men on Friday delivered a majority guilty verdict on three charges, including sexual assault without consent and assault with act of indecency.
On Thursday, the jury found the 22-year-old not guilty of sexually assaulting one of his accusers in November 2016.
The jury was unable to reach a majority verdict on the charge relating to the third complainant and has been discharged.
Bektasovski was remanded in custody awaiting sentence.
