Donaldson Guilty on 18 Sex Offenses

A jury has delivered a devastating verdict: former political leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is guilty on 18 sex offenses, including rape, committed against two girls decades ago. Despite denying all charges, Donaldson now faces a likely lengthy prison sentence, while calls grow to strip him of his knighthood. His wife, Lady Eleanor, was also found guilty on five counts for aiding her husband. Leaders across Ireland and Northern Ireland condemned the crimes as “evil and horrific,” praising the court’s message that no one is above the law — and emphasizing the deep pain inflicted on victims by both the crimes and the cover-ups.
