THE ex-husband of Scottish Tory MP Ross Thomson has stated that recent allegations against the politician are a “good insight into why we are no longer together”.
Thomson allegedly groped several men in a Westminster bar while under the influence of alcohol, before being escorted from the premises.
Police confirm that around 11pm on Tuesday they responded to a report of "sexual touching", however no formal allegations were made.
In response, the Aberdeen MP's former husband Douglas Mathewson claimed that the reported behaviour was “giving everyone a truthful perception of the individual”.
While he later deleted the tweet that stated it was “a good insight into why we are no longer together”, he clarified he removed the post "due to the nature of some threats I was getting.
“For reference, I haven't named individuals but if I were to, they would equally have to be held accountable for any actions of theirs that is in the public domain.”
Mathewson expressed frustration that he had not been believed when previously speaking out about Thomson's alleged behaviour. He tweeted: “I feel what is now in the public domain is giving everyone a truthful perception of the individual and that gives me relief because there were a lot of people who didn't believe me.”
He added: “I believe the gravity of actions as reported in the public domain should be enough to show them what he is really like.”
He went on to claim that he had recived threats “from people who are still behind this so-called individual”.
The Scottish Tories said they are investigating the claims, adding: “We are aware of reports of an incident last night and the matter is being looked into.”
