Dave Lee Travis' Sentence To Be Reviewed

DJ Dave Lee Travis' three-month suspended sentence for indecent assault has been referred to the Attorney General's Office.

Four members of the public have complained about the sentence and the Office will now look at claims the term was "unduly lenient".

The former Radio 1 star walked free from court despite being found guilty of groping a young researcher behind the scenes at The Mrs Merton Show in 1995.

Last Friday, Travis was sentenced to three months in prison, suspended for two years, by judge Anthony Leonard QC at London's Southwark Crown Court.

A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office said: "The case has been referred to us under the unduly lenient sentence scheme."

A decision on whether to refer the case to the Court of Appeal will be made by October 24.

Jurors had been told that Travis cornered the woman, who is now a TV personality, in the corridor of a BBC television studio where she was smoking.

And he commented on her "poor little lungs" before squeezing her breasts for 10 to 15 seconds.

Travis, who became a household name in the 1970s, was found not guilty 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.

He 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 his original trial in February.
