Jailed former Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Jeffrey Donaldson is being investigated by London police about an alleged rape of a woman inside the Houses of Parliament, the BBC can reveal.
The disgraced former MP has been accused of raping the woman in Westminster in 2016, at the very heart of the political establishment.
In July, the Belfast Telegraph first reported that a woman from Northern Ireland alleged she had been sexually assaulted by Donaldson in the DUP offices at Parliament in 2016.
She claimed that he attempted to get her to drink vodka shots in his office, before trying to kiss her and put his hand up her skirt.
On Saturday, the newspaper further reported that the Met was set to investigate and interview Donaldson about these accusations.
But in response to BBC questions it has now emerged the same woman has also alleged Donaldson raped her.
Again a reminder not to speculate over the identity of any of Donaldson’s victims or new alleged victims.
