SNP ditch investigation into notorious sex pest as he’s now quit the party

The SNP have ditched their investigation into a notorious sex pest because he’s now quit the party.

Jordan Linden will escape questioning into claims he sexually assaulted and harassed a fellow councillor for seven years.

The Sunday Mail revealed the complaint against the 29-year-old last month which prompted him to quit politics and give up his SNP membership.

The victim was told last week that the investigation into Jordan had been dropped (North Lanarkshire Council)

But it means the SNP - who have previously been mired in controversy over failures to tackle sex abuse allegations - have dropped their probe.

The alleged victim said: “I feel that it’s unfair that I’ve had to suffer for years from this, and more recently since August but yet the perpetrator - Jordan Linden- gets to walk away from the party and carry on as if nothing happened. It’s not good enough.”

The victim was told in a meeting last week that the long awaited investigation wouldn’t be going ahead.
