A youth charity which dismissed serious claims of underage grooming and sexual harassment is to review its botched handling of the saga. An investigation by the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) into how it treated 2016 concerns about Jordan Linden, its former chairman, is to take place after the Sunday Mail revealed serious flaws in its process.
It comes after a series of scandals about Linden, who quit as leader of North Lanarkshire Council after the Sunday Mail last month revealed he had been accused of sexually harassing a teenage SNP member in 2019.
His departure led to his party, the SNP, losing control of the council to Labour on Thursday. After we reported the allegations, several men came forward and claimed they had also been harassed and groomed by the politician three years earlier while members of the SYP.
