The head of poverty relief charity Barnabas Aid International, Patrick Sookhdeo, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a female member of staff, on February 23.
He was also found to have intimidated two employees who were due to give evidence against him. He was ordered to serve a three-month community order for all three charges, to run concurrently. He was also placed on a three-month curfew, and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £3,500 and a victim surcharge of £60.
The court heard that an internal investigation conducted by the charity in June cleared Sookhdeo of any wrongdoing.
