The pics were worse than creepy ..they were obscene

THE Scottish Parliament faces a new sleaze storm over claims no action was taken after an MSP sent sexual pictures of himself to a young assistant in the Holyrood building.

The Daily Record can reveal the senior politician used the gay dating app Grindr to connect with Holyrood staff.

He brazenly sent one young male worker images of his own private parts.

The worker reported it to the Scottish Parliament HR department but the married MSP was allowed to carry on with dayto-day duties and behaved as though nothing had happened.

The complainer has now told the Daily Record he is unaware of any action being taken.

The man, who asked not to be named, said: "The photos were worse than creepy, they were obscene.

"He was targeting people in the building. There was a faceless profile lurking on gay staff members' Grindr profiles, it ended up being him. He was operating in a close radius, which was revealed in the app.

"I was amazed he started off anonymous then very quickly be so open and reveal his face at the same time he sent naked, extreme pornographic stuff.
