Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson to appear in court on historical sex abuse charges in July.

Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson is expected to return to Northern Ireland next month to appear in court on historical sex abuse charges. A preliminary enquiry is set for July 3, during which prosecutors will determine if there is a prima facie case against Donaldson and his wife, Eleanor. The outgoing Lagan Valley MP has been charged with rape and 10 other historical sex offenses.
