US comedian turned politician Al Franken has apologised for a 2006 photo depicting him groping a newsreader's breasts while she was asleep on aircraft carrier.
Mr Franken released a statement apologising for the photo
The photo was taken while Mr Franken and Leeann Tweeden were travelling in the Middle East, entertaining US troops.
Ms Tweeden said the photo was taken by the trip photographer and she only discovered it when she opened a CD she had been given, once home in America.
"I see a picture and there's a picture of me sleeping in my gear on the plane and there's Al Franken, literally in the photo grabbing my boobs with his hands," she wrote in a blog post.
