A YOGA teacher encouraged women to get into yoga positions so he could sexually assault them, a court has found.

Kyno Hunt, 32, who worked as a heating engineer, pounced on three women after encouraging them to get onto all fours.

Hunt, of Bennets Lodge, Chase Court Gardens, was yesterday convicted of attacks on February 7 2008 in Cheshunt, April 28 in Broxbourne and September 9 in Enfield. All took place in the women's homes.

One of the women was assaulted after being asked to crouch on her hands and knees to get a better view of the airing cupboard.

Hunt was identified and arrested after the Enfield victim came forward in September and he was arrested on October 3 last year.

DI Daniel Smith, of Sapphire, said: "Hunt is clearly a manipulative and brazen individual who preyed on women, abusing his position and assaulting the victims in their own homes.

"My team of officers in Sapphire are committed to tackling serious sexual assault and ensuring those responsible are held accountable for their actions. I would encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of Hunt to contact my team on 020 8345 4326."

Hunt will be sentenced at Wood Green Crown Court on October 12.
