A new allegation of sexual assault is being examined involving former Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Jeffrey Donaldson. According to the accuser, who is identified in one report, Donaldson allegedly attempted to have her drink vodka shots in his Westminster office, after which she refused. The account then claims he tried to kiss her on the mouth and put his hand up her skirt. The DUP says it has commissioned an investigation into the circumstances and into what individuals knew and when, including whether any party members failed to act or ignored the reported behaviour. The allegation is presented as part of a wider series of scrutiny around Donaldson, with further investigation expected. Details of any procedures, timelines, or outcomes are not specified in the provided excerpts. The matter is currently at the investigation stage, with both the accuser’s claims and the DUP’s response central to the reporting.
