Police investigating threats to Karen Adam MSP after backlash over post on paedophiles

POLICE are investigating alleged threats made against SNP MSP Karen Adam following an online backlash after a post about paedophiles. 

The Banffshire and Buchan Coast representative, who was elected last year, faced a Twitter storm for her post last week.

Ms Adam — who said she was a survivor of child sexual exploitation — said abusers were not “mac-wearing flashers in the street” but were “our family, friends and colleagues.”
