The 35-year-old has been convicted of sexually assaulting of a client.

A court has heard a personal trainer, who sexually assaulted a client at his gym in Mullingar, Westmeath, also secretly filmed over 30 other topless women.

35-year-old Shane Flynn, with an address at Dalystown in Mullingar, is awaiting sentence.

In 2021, a woman went to Shane Flynn’s NGS Gym & Rehabilitation Clinic in Mullingar for what she believed to be "expert treatment" for chronic back pain.

While massaging her, the jury heard he made inappropriate comments and touched her vagina, breasts and buttocks, leaving her terrified.

Flynn accused her of being "wild" or "gamey" and claimed he had to shoot her down when she got the wrong idea and crossed the line during the massage.

But the jury didn’t believe him and convicted him of sexual assault.

18 hours of secretly-recorded footage, featuring 37 women, most of whom were topless as he massaged them, were found on his laptop.

He admitted making the recordings without their knowledge or consent.

A date for his sentence hearing will be set in December.
