Summary

Jordan Linden, 30, was sentenced to 18 months in prison at Falkirk Sheriff Court following his conviction for offences committed between 2011 and 2021. Following a trial in March 2026, he was found guilty of five sexual assaults and three counts of engaging in a course of conduct causing fear or alarm. Additionally, he was convicted of charges involving sexual communication, which included sending unsolicited images to seven teenagers as young as 14.

In addition to the custodial sentence, Sheriff Christopher Shead placed Linden on the sex offenders register for a period of 10 years. The court heard evidence regarding Linden's conduct during his time in positions of trust, including his roles within political and youth organisations. The trial heard testimony from witnesses regarding unwanted physical advances and inappropriate behaviour toward young men and teenagers over the decade-long period. Linden had denied all charges throughout the proceedings before being found guilty by the court.
