Patrick Grady's victim has revealed he is considering taking legal action after the SNP MP was found guilty of sexual misconduct.
The worker, who was 19 at the time of incident, said he would find it "difficult to find any route back to work" following the unwanted sexual advances in a London pub in October 2016.
Over the weekend an audio recording was obtained of an SNP group meeting in which Westminster leader Ian Blackford and other MPs backed Grady over the incident.
After the clip was leaked the Nationalist's Chief Whip Owen Thompson claimed whoever made the audio has legal questions to answer.
Grady's victim told LBC he is looking at taking action following the judgement.
He said: "In terms of working I'm considering my options.
"If that includes legal action then so be it, but I am considering my options at the moment."
A probe found the MP for Glasgow North touched and stroked his victim’s hair, back and neck in a London pub in 2016.
Grady has been suspended from parliament for two day, while the SNP also withdrew the whip from the MP until he had served his suspension.
His victim said: "In terms of work, the situation's very difficult.
"Right now it's difficult to find any route back to work to envision any route back to work, especially given the man that's responsible for staff Ian Blackford has directed the MPs to support Patrick.
"How is that going to impact on me? Should I return back to work?
"I don't think I will be well received at work. I don't think anybody would blame me for having that view after hearing the audio recording.
"So, in terms of working I'm considering my options.
"If that includes legal action then so be it, but I am considering my options at the moment."
Constitution Secretary Angus Robertson accused opposition parties of attempting to escalate the situation.
He told STV: "For the criticism to come from other political parties who are throwing bricks while sitting in glass houses, is frankly totally rich.
"We need context in this. Absolutely, first thoughts are with anybody who has been subject to inappropriate behaviour.
"Secondly, if you are going to have independent processes to look at them and to work out what penalties should be paid, then one should respect those and that’s exactly what’s happening.
"And Ian Blackford is right to recognise that, but at the same time say when somebody has paid the price that they’ve been told that they have to pay, people have to have a future beyond that.”
Following the judgement Grady issued an apology in the Commons, he said: "I am profoundly sorry for my behaviour and I deeply regret my actions and the consequences.
"Any breach of the behaviour codes and associated policies risks bringing this House into disrepute and will cause the stress and upset not just for the complainant but to the wider parliamentary community.
“I give you and this House my firm assurance that I have learned significant lessons through this process and a firm undertaking that such behaviour on my part will never happen again.”
