Northern Ireland's deputy first minster says she was "completely floored" when she first heard of the arrest and charges of former Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Jeffrey Donaldson over historical sex abuse. In June, he was convicted of 18 counts of sex abuse, including one count of rape, which he committed against two women when they were children. Emma Little-Pengelly said that people who worked alongside Donaldson over the past 20 years are "floored, shocked and utterly repulsed". After the former DUP leader was found guilty, a BBC Spotlight investigation reported on the double life of Donaldson. Speaking to the BBC's Red Lines podcast, Little-Pengelly said those reports should not take away from the scale of the crimes that he has been found guilty of.
