## Resource

Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been convicted on eighteen historic sex offense charges spanning decades, including one count of rape and thirteen of indecent assault, after a dramatic trial where he denied all allegations. His wife, Eleanor, faced separate charges of aiding and abetting but avoided a criminal conviction due to mental health concerns. Both victims, children at the time, testified, while Donaldson spent two days on the stand denying everything. The jury’s verdict closes a major legal chapter, reflecting the gravity of the charges and the evidence presented. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
