Dave Lee Travis receives suspended sentence
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 26 September 2014
Dave Lee Travis has been given a three month sentence, suspended for two years, after being found guilty of indecent assault earlier this week.
As previously reported, DLT, real name David Griffin, was acquitted of two charges of sexual assault and indecent assault on Tuesday, but found guilty of indecently assaulting a researcher on ‘The Mrs Merton Show’ in 1995.
In sentencing, the judge this morning said that mitigating factors included the fact that the presenter had co-operated fully throughout the two years the investigation and trials had taken to complete, and that his conviction would likely mean that he would now struggle to find work.
