SNP sex pest Patrick Grady's victim says MPs have snubbed him since misconduct finding

dailyrecord.co.uk:

SNP sex pest Patrick Grady’s victim has claimed that only one party MP out of 45 has reached out to him since the allegation was upheld.

The worker, who was 19 at the time of the sexual misconduct, claimed that SNP MPs are protecting their colleague. Grady was this week found guilty of sexual misconduct by Westminster authorities after a complaint by the man.

The MP made unwanted sexual advances in a London pub in October 2016 by touching and stroking his hair, back and neck. He was ordered to make a public apology, as well as a private one to the victim, and will be barred from the Commons for 48 hours.The employee, currently off sick from his job at Westminster, told the Record this week his treatment by the SNP after making the complaint was worse than Grady’s behaviour.He said he had been shunted sideways into a “non job”, given the silent treatment by colleagues and blocked on social media.The man, who wants to remain anonymous, said: “It is very disappointing, but not surprising given they clearly closed ranks early on.“It shows they have chosen to protect Patrick Grady, not the staff member.“It shows they have still not learned anything from the process.”He also drew a contrast between his treatment and the many MPs who sat close to Grady when he apologised in the Commons.He said: “It speaks volumes that so many MPs were sitting next to him when he made his apology, nodding their heads, yet only one has reached out to me.”First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said about the finding: “It’s very clear that Patrick is in the wrong and was in the wrong and behaved in a way that he should not have behaved."The SNP was approached for comment.
