Pastor Testifies in Donaldson Trial

In a shocking courtroom twist, a pastor revealed that an alleged victim of Jeffrey Donaldson feared reporting abuse because it would ruin his political career — a chilling detail emerging as Donaldson faces 18 charges spanning decades. His wife, unfit to stand trial due to mental health issues, also faces aiding and abetting charges. Testimony from the daughter of a Christian center’s founders added layers: the alleged victim, who never used the word “sexual,” confessed abuse but later met Donaldson — where she reportedly forgave him. No specifics were discussed during that meeting, but Donaldson apologized for any discomfort she felt. The former MP, who recently led his party back into government, resigned as leader and was suspended after the allegations surfaced — all unfolding as the trial continues next week.
