An ABC presenter has escaped being sent to jail despite being convicted of selling drugs after a police raid uncovered a stash of illegal substances inside his Sydney CBD hotel room.

The ABC radio journalist and presenter was tight lipped as he left court alongside his lawyer after he was sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order. According to an agreed statement of facts, police found a cache of ice, MDMA, cocaine, cannabis, LSD and the party drug gamma-Butyrolactone along with drug paraphernalia when they searched his 24th floor room at the Meriton Suites on Pitt Street.
