A Weston nightclub owner has been found guilty of assaulting a woman alleged to be his extra-marital girlfriend.

Vassos Siangolis, who owns Seven in Beach Road, was arrested after being caught on CCTV pushing Carla Cowlin to the ground at the Weston carnival.

The pair were said to have been friends for eight years but prosecutors suggested the assault was a 'domestic incident'.

Siangolis was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay court costs.
