GUILTY: Jeffrey Donaldson is now a convicted child rapist

Jeffrey Donaldson has been found guilty of all charges – the judge said prison is “inevitable”. 

A jury of seven men and five women had considered its verdicts for more than nine hours over two days, and reached a verdict just after lunch on Monday.  

The 63-year-old former MP had pleaded not guilty to 18 offences including one count of rape. 

His wife Eleanor Donaldson found guilty of all charges including five of aiding and abetting – she was facing a trial of the facts and cannot be convicted or go to prison.
