Disgraced DJ Dave Lee Travis has left court after being given a three-month suspended sentence for indecently assaulting a TV personality.
Speaking to reporters outside, he said he was "mortified" and "really disappointed" over his conviction this week and criticised his prosecution.
The incident 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 former Radio 1 star had squeezed her breasts for 10-15 seconds after cornering her in a corridor of a BBC studio.
The victim had been smoking in the corridor when he commented on her "poor little lungs" before groping her.
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.
Travis became a household name in the 1970s 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".
Marianne, his wife of more than 40 years, hugged a friend in the public gallery after the judge delivered his sentence.
He later spoke to reporters outside court after being freed.
In a statement read out ahead of his sentencing, the victim said: "I was subjected to an unprovoked and terrifying physical assault at my place of work.
"I was too paralysed with fear to confront my assailant."
On Tuesday, Travis 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.
