Former council leader jailed for sexually assaulting young men
Jordan Linden, former SNP leader of North Lanarkshire Council and ex-chair of the Scottish Youth Parliament, has been sentenced to 18 months in jail after being convicted of sexually assaulting five young men and sending unwanted sexual communications to seven teenagers (as young as 14) over a 10-year period. First Minister John Swinney ordered an independent review of the SNP's complaints process amid claims the party ignored warnings about Linden's behavior, while the Scottish Youth Parliament confirmed it followed proper procedures when handling 2016 allegations against him.
