Jeffrey Donaldson took the stand in Newry Crown Court on Thursday at his trial on charges of historical child sex abuse. It was the 13th day of the trial, and he was questioned by the defence barrister about the specific allegations made by the two complainants. The former DUP leader told the jury that he does not accept any allegations that he sexually abused two women while they were children. He did admit infidelity; that he had had an affair with a woman in London nearly 20 years ago. That was in the morning. Then in the afternoon the prosecution began its cross-examination, and that will continue on Friday and perhaps into next week. So what did he say when the 18 charges were put to him? And what next for this trial?Irish Times Northern Editor Freya McClements was in court for Donaldson’s testimony. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan.
