A woman who made sexual assault allegations against Alex Salmond has claimed the Holyrood inquiry into the saga has been more traumatic for her in many ways than the trial was. The woman was one of nine who gave evidence against the former first minister at the High Court last year. Mr Salmond was cleared of all 13 of the sexual assault charges against him. A committee is now investigating the Scottish government’s handling of the original complaints against Mr Salmond. The inquiry was intended to ensure that similar mistakes were not made in the future and that women could feel confident in coming forward with complaints about alleged sexual misconduct. But the woman told BBC Scotland political editor Glenn Campbell that she believed it had descended into a “political fight” that made it less likely that other women would report any concerns.
