Patrick Grady's victim has hit out at SNP MPs for not contacting him to offer support after he was sexually harassed.
The worker has pinned the blame on SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford for urging Nationalists to show support for the Glasgow North MP after he was found guilty by Commons authorities.
Grady was suspended from the House of Commons and had the whip removed from him during that time after the probe found he made unwanted sexual advances towards the worker in 2016 when he was 19.

The victim told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland (GMS) programme: "I haven't received much in the way of support from any of the MPs."
An audio recording released over the weekend revealed Blackford urged MPs to back Grady over the incident.
He could he heard saying, Grady “is going to face a number of challenges over the short term and so he should have our absolute full support”.
Amy Callaghan, MP for East Dunbartonshire, could also be heard on the clip showing her support for Grady. After the recording was leaked Callaghan issued an apology to the victim and got in touch with him beforehand.
The victim hit out at Blackford over his "publicity stunt" statement on Tuesday night which said lessons needed to be learned by the SNP over how to handle complaints.
The Ross, Skye and Lochaber MP did not contact the worker and still hasn't apologised to him.
Asked on GMS if any SNP MP had got in touch with him to offer support, the victim said: "Not as many as you'd like. Amy Callaghan did get in touch with me before she issued a public apology and I let her know I accepted it.
"I do think it was a heartfelt apology and she has learned and reflected. Other than Amy I haven't received much in the way of support from any of the MPs - minus a couple maybe.
"Out of the 45 the vast majority still haven't contacted me, they haven't been in touch, they haven't wished me well or asked if I was ok.
"That's down in part to the fact that Ian Blackford the leader has directed them to support Patrick Grady instead of myself."
In his statement earlier this week Blackford said he had a "duty of care" to all staff.
He added: “As SNP Westminster leader, I have a duty of care to all of our staff. That is why I deeply regret that a member of staff was subject to inappropriate behaviour.
“It was completely unacceptable and should never have happened. I am sorry that it did.”
