69-year-old man sentenced for indecent assault he committed in 1995

The 69-year-old was found guilty this week of groping a young researcher behind the scenes of the Mrs Merton Show.

Disgraced DJ Dave Lee Travis has left court after being given a three-month suspended sentence for indecently assaulting a TV personality.
The indecent assault took place in 1995 behind the scenes at The Mrs Merton Show, a programme which the victim had been working on as a researcher.

The DJ had squeezed her breasts for 10-15 seconds after cornering her in a corridor of a BBC studio. Travis, who became a household name in the 1970s, was found guilty on Tuesday of indecently assaulting the woman.
He was sentenced to three months in prison, suspended for two years.Sentencing the 69-year-old man at London's Southwark Crown Court, Judge Leonard said: "It was an intentional and unpleasant sexual assault.
"You took advantage of a young woman in a vulnerable position whose job it was to look after you that day."In the dock, Travis briefly looked down and then said: "Thank you, your honour".
