Woman claims Jeffrey Donaldson sexually assaulted her in Westminster DUP offices

Author: Belfast Telegraph July 7, 2026 Duration: 20:41

Jeffrey Donaldson looks set to be investigated again after a further allegation of sexual assault on a woman in the DUP offices at Westminster. The young woman at the heart of the allegations says that the former DUP leader tried to get her to drink vodka shots in his office, that she refused to do, before he allegedly tried to kiss her on the mouth and put his hand up her skirt.


The DUP has commissioned an investigation into who knew what and when, and if members failed to act, or turned a blind eye to Donaldson’s behaviour.


Olivia Peden is joined by Allison Morris.
