His wife, Eleanor, was found to have aided the crimes but won’t face charges due to her mental health. Sentencing is set for September 25, with a lengthy prison term and mandatory registration as a sex offender expected. Despite his claims of innocence and denials of wrongdoing — even rejecting the meaning of a 2020 letter — the verdict ends his political career and shatters the fragile peace he helped broker. The case has stunned Northern Ireland, exposing deep rot beneath its political surface. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
