Episode Details

Former SNP Councillor Jordan Linden, once a prominent figure in North Lanarkshire Council, has been convicted of serious sexual offenses against young males. Spanning a decade from 2011 to 2021, Lindens crimes included sexual assaults, stalking, and improper communications. Despite his positions of trust, Lindens victims, the youngest just fourteen, showed courage by coming forward. The trial revealed how earlier complaints were dismissed by adults in the youth parliament and SNP circles. Linden stepped down as council leader in 2022 and left the council and SNP in 2023 after allegations surfaced. He was charged in 2024. This case highlights the betrayal of trust by those in power and the polices commitment to pursuing justice, regardless of the delay or status involved.
