The sleaze continues. Now Jeffrey Donaldson, ex-DUP leader, accused of rape and gross indecency with a child Politician’s wife, Lady Donaldson, is a co-accused in the case and also faces charges

Court case scheduled for 22 May.

You are absolutely correct welbeck. Nothing but known facts, no speculation, no assumptions.

your comment GSM is of course neutral.
but most of the others assume the guilt of the person charged.
a named and well known, easily identifiable person.
only the courts can give a verdict.
writing prejudicial comments here is in effect publishing them, which puts both the author (poster), and publisher (GN/MN), under jeopardy of criminal sanctions, inc custodial sentence.
on your heads be it.

This one is truly awful. Let’s hope the investigations and court process see justice done

Good advice from welbeck. It will be in the public arena soon enough so until then.............

Beggars belief - but alas, such things seem to happen too often.

We can discuss but not speculate.

this matter is sub judice, we should not be discussing it .
contempt of court act 1981, section 1, strict liability rule.
these forums are regarded as published material for purposes of the act.
wait until the matter has been concluded by the courts, then you are free to discuss it.

She is, apparently, charged with aiding and abetting him.

I have no affiliation whatsoever to the DUP but I so don’t want this to be true. His wife too?
