The wife of former Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Donaldson has been placed under a supervision order for three years. In June, Eleanor Donaldson was found to have done the acts in relation to five charges, including four of aiding and abetting her husband’s offending, a verdict which she is seeking to appeal. Eleanor Donaldson could not be given a prison sentence as she faced a “trial of the facts” as it was determined she was medically unfit for a criminal trial. Appearing before Newry Crown Court via video link, Eleanor Donaldson was also told she would be placed on the sex offenders’ register for five years. When Judge Paul Ramsey asked if she understood that she would be subjected to a supervision treatment order she nodded her head and said “yes”. Last month her husband Jeffrey Donaldson was sentenced to 15 years in prison for a series of child sex offences against two victims, who is seeking to appeal his convictions. 📲 Read more about this story by clicking the link in @bbcnewsni’s bio #NorthernIreland #BBCNewsNI #EleanorDonaldson #JeffreyDonaldson #Newry
