His legal team has filed appeal papers, with hearings expected in Belfast this autumn. The case has also triggered a Northern Ireland Assembly review into his alleged misconduct during his time as an MLA from 2003 to 2010. His wife, Lady Eleanor Donaldson, was found to have aided and abetted the crimes but avoided criminal conviction due to mental health proceedings. Victims described abuse that began in primary school, while Donaldson showed no visible reaction at sentencing. The legal battle continues as the appeal looms.
