He was found guilty of three charges of raping one student in Manchester and of assaulting her by penetration. He was also found guilty of one charge of raping a student in Liverpool.
The jury also convicted him of two offences of sexually assaulting a third student in Liverpool, but cleared him of a sexual assault on a fourth student, also in Liverpool.
Goodwin, of Hilbre Street, Liverpool city centre but formerly of Salford, did not react when the jury returned their unanimous verdicts after just over six hours deliberations.
But in the hours after the conviction, Goodwin's dad, also named Charles Goodwin, took to Facebook to rant about the case, the Liverpool Echo reports.
After the jury announced they had reached a verdict, Mr Goodwin Snr said: "'They have reached a verdict' don't think I've ever been more nervous in my life. My son's future about to be decreed by 12 strangers."
He later posted to call the jury's verdict "despicable".
He said: "Despicable. Found guilty of 9 of 12 charges. Ignore all the evidence [...] convicted him because a girl turned up to court [...] and cried about trauma. Unbelievable.
"An absolute stitch up. Shame on
