Jeffrey Donaldson trial hears alleged sexual abuse victim tell police of nightmares

Recording of police interview played in Newry crown court also contains allegations about ex-DUP leader’s actions

An alleged victim of sexual abuse by Jeffrey Donaldson had nightmares about men doing “horrible things to children” and was left “feeling dirty for a long time”, a Northern Ireland court has heard.

The complainant made the allegations in a police interview played to the jury in the trial of the former MP and Democratic Unionist party (DUP) leader, who is charged with sexual offences.
