Reports on Thursday night suggest the senior politician, who is understood to be married with children, used gay dating app Grindr to connect with staff in the parliament building.

In one instance, the male MSP sent images of his genitals to a young man who worked at the building.

The staff member reported the incident to the HR department but, as far as he is aware, no action was taken.

The alleged victim, who wishes to remain anonymous, described the pictures as “worse than creepy”, and “obscene”.

He said: “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.
