North Lanarkshire Council leader quits after being accused of sexually harassing teenager

A Lanarkshire councillor has quit after allegations that he sexually harassed a teenager at a party emerged.

Jordan Linden resigned after two months in charge of North Lanarkshire Council following the accusations that he groped a teenager in 2019 were published. The 27-year-old expressed "regret" for his actions and apologised.

It was reported that Linden harassed the teenager at a flat in Dundee following a Pride party in the city. He pulled out of the race to become an SNP candidate for Westminster just days later.
