Ex-DUP Leader Jeffrey Donaldson Accused of 2016 Rape Inside Westminster
Police say the investigation is at an early stage, with one victim supported by specialist officers and no arrests made.
On Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed it will interview former Democratic Unionist Party leader Jeffrey Donaldson regarding an alleged rape inside Parliament in 2016.
The Met launched the investigation after receiving a report from the Police Service of Northern Ireland on Tuesday October 13 concerning a 63-year-old man.
Specialist officers are currently supporting the victim, who reportedly provided statements to the PSNI earlier this year, according to reports from the BBC.
Donaldson was jailed last week for 15 years following his conviction for 18 historical sex offenses against two victims committed between 1985 and 2008.
The Met stated the investigation remains in its early stages, with no arrests made and enquiries ongoing regarding the alleged incident at Westminster.
