Eight years of imprisonment: this is the sentence that will have to be served by Marco Castellano, a 49-year-old former trainer of "Amici" found guilty of three cases of sexual violence, dating back to the two-year period between 2016 and 2018, and of the sale of drugs to two of the victims .
According to the allegations, Castellano stunned women with a narcotic dissolved in coffee, then raped them and when they rebelled, he threatened to spread the hot video of their relationship.
The sentence, as reported by the Messenger, was pronounced in Rome by the judges of the fifth criminal section.
Castellano raped women in his office - the Prosecutor said - in a gym in the Portuense district of the capital where he was a fitness instructor.
The cases of violence emerged after the trainer ended up in handcuffs for managing a prostitution ring in 2018. Only then did the victims of abuse have the courage to denounce Castellano.
Castellano's last participation in “Amici” dates back to 2009, when Emma Marrone and Stefano De Martino were also competing. His role was to help the kids get back in shape.
In 2004 he also participated in the "Volere o volo" program, again on Mediaset.
