## Resource

Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been convicted on eighteen historic sex offense charges, including one rape and thirteen counts of indecent assault against two girls as children, spanning from 1985 to 2008. His wife, Eleanor Donaldson, was found guilty of aiding and abetting through a trial of the facts, due to her husband’s mental health status. Both denied all allegations during trial, as the complainants testified about their childhood experiences. The verdicts have sparked national attention over the gravity of the charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
