A youth charity which dismissed serious claims of underage grooming and sexual harassment is to review its botched handling of the saga. An investigation by the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) into how it treated 2016 concerns about Jordan Linden, its former chairman, is to take place after the Sunday Mail revealed serious flaws in its process.
It comes after a series of scandals about Linden, who quit as leader of North Lanarkshire Council after the Sunday Mail last month revealed he had been accused of sexually harassing a teenage SNP member in 2019.
His departure led to his party, the SNP, losing control of the council to Labour on Thursday. After we reported the allegations, several men came forward and claimed they had also been harassed and groomed by the politician three years earlier while members of the SYP.
One of the men was just 14 at the time he claims he was sent explicit images and messages by Linden, who was 21. Despite this, SYP chief executive Ben McKendrick hired a private law firm to investigate allegations of inappropriate behaviour against Linden before he dismissed them as false.
Now the charity has decided to review the investigation and initially said McKendrick would be involved in the probe before deciding against it. Instead, a private contractor, Magenta HR, has been hired to conduct the investigation.
Two men who claim to have been victims of Linden hit out at the decision to hire a private firm and are calling for an independent inquiry by the charity regulator or Scottish Government.
Separately, company accounts for the SYP show that in 2016 and 2017 the charity’s legal fees soared from around £3,000 to more than £18,000 per year. The men are now calling for an explanation as to why up to
