Northern Ireland's former unionist leader convicted of decades-old child sex abuse claims
Jeffrey Donaldson, a unionist leader in Northern Ireland, was convicted of rape and sex abuse charges involving two girls from 1985 to 2008. He denied the allegations during testimony, claiming he did not commit the acts, while his wife was found to have aided and abetted but avoided conviction due to mental health issues.
