A shamed former SNP councillor who groomed and abused a string of teenage boys has been jailed for six years.
Mark Kerr preyed on victims including attempting to rape one at his home in Croy, Lanarkshire. The 40-year-old struck mostly before he was elected as a councillor in 2017 for the Kilsyth ward.
But, he went on to grope the final victim at a food bank in the village in May 2020. Kerr denied the accusations and insisted he had been the target of a vendetta, which saw him forced out of his home of 32 years.
