FORMER Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis is facing a possible jail sentence after he was found guilty of groping a female TV personality.

The ex-Top Of The Pops presenter, tried under real name David Griffin, was convicted by jury at Southwark Crown Court, London, by a majority of 10 to two.

Griffin, 69, was found guilty of indecent assault on the woman, who was working on the Mrs Merton Show, on January 17, 1995.

He was cleared on a second indecent assault charge and the jury was discharged after it was unable to agree a verdict on a count of sexual assault.

Judge Anthony Leonard QC warned that he was looking at "all options" when he considered his sentence.

Wearing dark grey trousers and a light grey blazer, Griffin, who will be sentenced on Friday, stared straight ahead with a stony expression and held his hands in front of him as the verdicts were read out.

He glanced over his shoulder to his wife Marianne, who was sitting at the back of court, before sitting down.

Griffin, who became a household name as Travis in the 1970s, faced a retrial after jurors failed to reach verdicts on those two charges earlier this year.

He was cleared of 12 counts of indecent assault at the original trial in February.

His victim told the court during the second trial that he got a "weird sexual thrill" as he indecently assaulted her.

She said she "froze" as she was pinned against the wall by Griffin while he squeezed her breasts for 10-15 seconds.

The woman, who was in her 20s and was working as part of the crew in Manchester at the time of the incident, said she did not make an official complaint or contact police at the time because she was young and did not want to make a "fuss".

She gave evidence without a screen, in view of Griffin in the dock.

However, the defendant denied the claims, telling jurors the woman had been lying.

Sophie Wood, mitigating, told the court that the "custodial threshold has not been met", and said the judge could order Griffin to carry out unpaid work as punishment.

But Judge Leonard told Griffin: "You must understand that all my options remain open in relation to sentencing."

Griffin, from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, replied: "I understand. Thank you, your honour."

Griffin had to push his way through a scrum of photographers as he left court with his wife and got into his waiting black Honda saloon car.

Journalists asked him if he was "remorseful" and if he was "sorry" for calling his victim a liar.

But the former DJ refused to answer questions, telling reporters: "I cannot say anything until Friday."

Mark Castle, chief executive of the charity Victim Support, said: "We hope this verdict will encourage anyone who has been a victim of this crime to seek help."
