Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, 63, denies allegations of abuse involving two alleged victims and pleads not guilty to 18 offences, according to reports. The former MP’s position is that he is not responsible for the conduct described by prosecutors. The cases referenced in the articles focus on allegations brought against him for multiple alleged offences, with the total number specified as 18. The sources report that the plea entered by Donaldson is a denial of wrongdoing, rather than an admission, and that the matter proceeds on the basis of contested charges. The coverage is consistent across outlets, describing both the nature of his plea and the number of alleged offences. No additional details of the specific charges, alleged incidents, or court proceedings are provided in the supplied excerpts, and the reporting does not indicate any outcome to date. The accounts therefore reflect only that Donaldson, as an ex-MP, formally denies the allegations and has pleaded not guilty to the stated count of offences.
