Yeah, it's not really something to celebrate. And it's not like the other side isn't sullied with a history of similar shit. But I do hope they get what they deserve, assuming they did what they're accused of.Not for any victims involved in this case.

If it goes to trial it's not going to be easy for them - the courtroom, the cross-questioning and not knowing the verdict for ages could all be horrendous.err he facing justice is that not a good day for the victims

Jeffrey Donaldson has appeared in court charged with rape, gross indecency and other sexual offences spanning 21 years in a case that has stunned Northern Ireland.
His wife, Eleanor Donaldson, appeared alongside him at Newry magistrates court in County Down on Wednesday and was charged with aiding and abetting rape and indecent assault.
Donaldson, 61, faces 11 charges: one count of rape, one count of gross indecency towards a child and nine counts of indecent assault on a female from 1985 to 2006. The allegations relate to two complainants.
How the mighty are fallen
Donaldson, 61, was charged with seven more offences on Tuesday, bringing the total to 18, after the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) reviewed the police evidence, as is the normal practice.
He was originally charged with 11 sex offences in April.
Donaldson was met by his lawyer, John McBurney, as he arrived at Newry Magistrates' Court today for a hearing to establish whether there was sufficient evidence against him to proceed with a trial. There was a significant police presence outside the court.

He would have been relatively young at the time?In the preliminary hearing, the judge has decided that Donaldson and his wife will face trial over 18 charges of historical sexual offences. I wonder if Kincora will figure in any of this?
He would have been 18 when Kincora closed in 1980. So, maybe yes; maybe no, but many paedophiles start committing offences while they're in their teens.He would have been relatively young at the time?

Keep your hair on, fella.So what?
I'm certain the overwhelming majority of child sexual abuse that has taken place in Northern Ireland since the 1970s has nothing to do with Kincora.
