Former SNP council leader jailed for sexual offences against young men and boys
Jordan Linden, a former rising star in the SNP and ex-leader of North Lanarkshire Council, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of five sexual assaults on young men and directing unwanted sexual communications to seven teenagers (as young as 14) between 2011 and 2021. Victims alleged their complaints about Linden's behavior were ignored or downplayed by the SNP, prompting criticism from Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar and a commitment from SNP leader John Swinney to seek independent scrutiny of the party's complaints process.
