Former DUP Leader Jeffrey Donaldson Faces 18 Historical Sex Offence Charges

Donaldson and his wife appear in court for preliminary enquiry; both contest allegations spanning over two decades.

Jeffrey Donaldson, former DUP leader, now charged with 18 sex offences, up from 11 initially.
His wife, Lady Eleanor Donaldson, faces five charges, up from four, related to aiding and abetting.
The alleged offences occurred between 1985 and 2008, involving two alleged victims.
Donaldson resigned as DUP leader and will not seek re-election as MP for Lagan Valley.
The couple were released on bail after their initial court appearance in April.
