A senior SNP politician is at the centre of claims he groped a teenager at a boozy party. Jordan Linden was promoted to a £45,000 council leader job and had ambitions to be an MP yet was the focus of complaints to party bosses about his behaviour.
The Sunday Mail can reveal that the 27-year-old is accused of making unwanted advances towards 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”.
Just two months ago he was announced as leader of North Lanarkshire Council following May’s elections. SNP bosses are now under fire to explain why Linden, a former chairman of the Scottish Youth Parliament, was promoted while complaints about the incident to party chiefs were ignored.
