Former Prison Worker Convicted of Rape | Sydney News

A South Australian jury has convicted former prison worker Enio Screpanti, 67, of rape and aggravated indecent assault after just over two hours of deliberation — a unanimous verdict that stunned the courtroom. The crimes, dating back to the early 2000s at an Adelaide jail, allegedly occurred on a treadmill in the gym and later in a shed, with the victim’s testimony deemed credible by prosecutors. Despite the defense’s claims of weak evidence and lack of CCTV, the jury sided with the prosecution. Screpanti’s family broke down as the verdict was read, and the judge revoked his bail, remanding him to custody. He now awaits sentencing, scheduled for next month’s pre-sentence hearing.
