Jordan Linden, who has left the SNP, denies the claims and says he will 'robustly' defend himself.
The former leader of North Lanarkshire Council has resigned from the local authority and the SNP.
"It breaks my heart to give up the job I love, but I now plan to step back from politics for the foreseeable future," he said. "I hope that in making this decision, me and those closest to me, are now allowed to live in peace in the days and weeks ahead."Labour retook North Lanarkshire Council following Jordan Linden's resignation
