Bob Hewitt is GUILTY



Former tennis ace Bob Hewitt has been found guilty on two counts of rape and one of sexual assault.

Seventy-five-year-old, Hewitt, was convicted on Monday of raping Theresa Token and Sue-ellen Sheehan, who were tennis pupils of his some 30 year ago.

He was also convicted of sexually assaulting a third woman whose identity was not revealed.

In handing down judgement , Judge Bert Bam said that the state's evidence against Hewitt had been overwhelming.

He said that time had not erased the crimes and that a guilty person should not go unpunished.
