Jeffrey Donaldson: Convicted paedophile’s mentor Enoch Powell also accused of preying on children in NI

Throughout the trial of Jeffrey Donaldson, his work for what he called “the local MP” was referenced in court. That MP was Enoch Powell – one of the most controversial British politicians of the 20th century. Donaldson served as Powell’s election agent in the mid-80s. Powell, who passed away in 1998, had been accused of being a paedophile, with allegations arising from around the time Jeffrey Donaldson had been working for him.Former DUP leader Donaldson was found guilty of historical sex offences, including rape, at the start of this week. Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast telegraph reporter Andrew Madden Hosted on Acast.
