Patrick Sookhdeo of Barnabus Fund has been found guilty of one count of sexual assault and two counts of intimidating witnesses.

Appearing at Swindon Crown Court, the 67-year-old's been handed a three month community order for all three charges. He's also been given a three month curfew, ordered to pay prosecution costs as well as a victim surcharge of £60.

He pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

The court had previously heard how he asked a woman, who can't be named, if he could trust her before inappropriately touching her.

The victim said the incident made her frightened, physically sick and prevented her from sleeping.

Mr Sookhdeo has been campaigning on behalf of the persecuted church for many years. He's written extensively on Islam and interfaith relations.

Last year an internal investigation at Barnabus Fund cleared him of any wrongdoing.

Premier has contacted the charity and is waiting for a response.
