A jury hears evidence during a four-week trial involving Jeffrey Donaldson, a former DUP leader, who is accused of sexual assault. Reporting across outlets notes that two complainants provide testimony, but their identities are protected; they are referred to in court materials as “Complainant A” and “Complainant B.” The accounts describe allegations made by the two women against Donaldson, and the trial proceeds on the basis of that evidence presented to the jury. One report emphasizes the designation used to anonymise the women, while another likewise confirms that the case involves two female accusers and centres on accusations of sexual assault by the former DUP leader. The available summaries do not detail the specific incidents alleged, the timing of events, or the specific evidence presented, but they agree on the core procedural facts: the trial lasts four weeks and includes testimony from two complainants whose identities are withheld to protect them. The jury’s consideration of the evidence presented in court is ongoing as the case is heard.
