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 said he lost his career, livelihood and dreams and has "serious concerns" about Patrick Grady.
He also called on Yousaf to ensure the party reinvestigates a previous claim against another SNP MP, Patricia Gibson.
Grady, the MP for Glasgow North, was suspended from the Commons for two days after being found guilty by a House of Commons watchdog of "unwanted physical touching" with "sexual intent".
The victim, who worked for the SNP at Westminster, was 19 at the time of the incident, which took place in a London bar.
Despite the harassment, Grady could still be reselected as a party candidate for the next general election.
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.
In an email to Yousaf, the complainer revealed the personal toll of both cases.
He wrote: "As a victim of sexual harassment, the journey towards healing has been arduous, the path to healing from such a traumatic experience has been an uphill battle, filled with countless obstacles.
