Jeffrey Donaldson Convicted of Rape

from Newstalk Daily

The former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been found guilty of raping a woman while she was a primary school child.    Mr Donaldson was also convicted on four counts of gross indecency with or towards a child and 13 counts of indecent assault on a female in relation to crimes that were committed between 1985 and 2008. His wife Eleanor was facing a trial of the facts, meaning she could not be found guilty. But in five charges, including four related to aiding and abetting, the jury found she had done the acts.The verdict marks one of the most incredible political downfalls ever seen on this island.  Ciara is joined by Newstalk reporter Jamie O Hara and Suzanne Breen, Political editor at the Belfast Telegraph.
