A former SNP staffer has urged Humza Yousaf to block an MP who sexually harassed him as a teenager from standing again as a candidate
A former SNP staffer has urged Humza Yousaf to block an MP who sexually harassed him as a teenager from standing again as a candidate. In a heartfelt letter to the First Minister, the complainer wrote of losing his “career, livelihood and dreams” and said he had “serious concerns” about Patrick Grady.
Gibson was accused by the same staffer of harassing him in a Commons bar. The complaint was originally upheld but her appeal was successful and she was cleared. He told Yousaf he is writing to reopen the investigation into Gibson MP and calls for assurances that Grady is not candidate at the next election. He added: “Despite my best efforts to raise this privately, I have been met with silence from SNP HQ while a promised meeting with your predecessor, Nicola Sturgeon, unfortunately never came to fruition.
“Yet he continues to sit on the SNP benches, which calls into question the party’s commitment to fairness, transparency, and duty of care. I remain hopeful that my plea will be met with the seriousness it deserves, and that the SNP, under its new leadership and administration, are finally able to act effectively on complaints of sexual harassment, and that victims’ voices are finally heard.
In June last year, Grady made an apology in the House of Commons, saying: “I am profoundly sorry for my behaviour and I deeply regret my actions and the consequences.” He added: “I give you and this House my firm assurance that I have learned significant lessons through this process. Such behaviour on my part will never happen again.”
