North Lanarkshire Council's leader is at the centre of claims he groped a teenager at a boozy party.
Jordan Linden was promoted to his £45,000 council job and had ambitions to be an MP, despite being the focus of complaints to party bosses about his behaviour.
Lanarkshire Live's sister paper the Sunday Mail has revealed that the 27-year-old is accused of making unwanted advances towards a teenager at a flat in Dundee following a Pride event in the city.
