Stacey Aldridge

AUSTIN, Texas — A 44-year-old former Austin hip-hop dance instructor was found guilty Thursday by a Travis County jury for sexually assaulting two teenagers after a night out in 2010.

Stacey Aldridge was convicted of two counts of sexual assault and acquitted of one count and faces up to 20 years in prison for each conviction. The sentencing phase in state District Judge Mike Lynch’s court continues today.

“The defendant befriended, he manipulated, he groomed and then he incapacitated these teenagers, and then he assaulted them,” prosecutor Mark Pryor said during closing arguments.
