The leader of North Lanarkshire Council is at the centre of claims he groped a teenager at a party. Jordan Linden was promoted to the senior position despite SNP party bosses being aware of the complaints.
The 27-year-old is accused of making unwanted advances toward a teenager at a flat in Dundee after a Pride event in the city. Three sources have outlined details of allegations that Linden groped and sexually harassed the young man while the pair were in a room together and described the SNP councillor as being “very drunk”, the Sunday Mail reports.
Linden was announced as the leader of North Lanarkshire Council two months ago following May’s elections. SNP bosses are now under fire to explain why the former chairman of the Scottish Youth Parliament was promoted while complaints about the incident to party chiefs were ignored.
