An SNP councillor who claims to have been sexually assaulted by his former boss Jordan Linden has demanded reforms to how the SNP handles sex complaints.
The 25-year-old complained to party HQ a month ago about the sex pest but has criticised the lack of action by senior figures. He said Linden – who resigned as an SNP councillor for North Lanarkshire after the Sunday Mail revealed the claims last week – climbed into his bed, groped and tried to kiss him while on a trip with the party’s youth wing.
Eight council colleagues are now calling for those who defended Linden to be suspended and investigated and for the party to get a grip on its sexual harassment policies so victims are protected instead of the alleged abusers.
