Dave Lee Travis, radio 1 DJ, has been found guilty of indecent assault on a researcher working on TV's Mrs Merton Show in 1995, it has been reported.

The Southwark Crown Court jury convicted the former BBC radio DJ, by a majority verdict of 10-2 and his sentence would be determined later on, the BBC reported.

Travis was arrested in November 2012 as part of Scotland Yard's Operation Yewtree, which was set up after abuse allegations against the late BBC DJ and entertainer Jimmy Savile.

The 69-year-old, who was tried under his real name David Griffin, appeared on BBC Radio 1 for more than 25 years until 1993 and was a regular host of Top of the Pops.
