Jeffrey Donaldson is on trial at Newry Crown Court for 18 charges of sex abuse alleged to have occurred between 1985 and 2008. Audio recordings of his March 2024 police interviews were played to the jury, during which he stated that a 2020 letter to one complainant expressed regret unrelated to the charges. His wife, Eleanor Donaldson, faces separate aiding-and-abetting charges but has been ruled unfit to stand trial.
