The Alex Salmond sexual harassment scandal was a political scandal in Scotland concerning the conduct of former First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond while in office. There was an associated feud within the Scottish National Party (SNP) between Salmond and his supporters and Nicola Sturgeon and her supporters.
A ministerial code investigation into Sturgeon conducted by James Hamilton concluded that she did not break the ministerial code over her conduct with Salmond. Salmond subsequently joined the Alba Party where shortly after, Kenny MacAskill and Neale Hanvey, two SNP MPs defected to the party along with several councillors.
Following a court case in 2019, Salmond was found not guilty on 12 charges, and not proven on one of sexual assault with intent to rape; one sexual assault charge was previously withdrawn by the Crown.[1]
