Judge imposes three-year treatment order on Donaldson for aiding and abetting sexual offences by her husband, Jeffrey

Jeffrey Donaldson’s wife, Eleanor, has been placed on the sex offender register for five years for aiding and abetting sexual offences by her disgraced husband.

Eleanor Donaldson appeared via remote link at Newry crown court to hear the order on Friday one month after her husband, the former Democratic Unionist party (DUP) leader, was convicted of abusing two women when they were children.
