DUP Review Amid Child Abuse Cover-Up
Description
Ian Paisley Junior’s conviction on 18 charges, including rape of minors, has ignited a firestorm of accountability. The DUP is launching its own probe into who knew what and when. BBC Spotlight exposed that a detective suspected Donaldson of abuse a full year before any official complaint — based on a victim’s indirect reference. Even more explosive: in 2006, two senior police officers witnessed Donaldson entering a gay sauna in London — a stark contradiction to his public condemnation of homosexuality. Now, independent MLA Doug Beattie is demanding the Police Ombudsman investigate the PSNI, asking if intelligence was ever escalated, if evidence was ignored, and whether failures to act endangered lives. This is about transparency, justice, and the urgent need to answer hard questions.
