Former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been sent for trial - to face historical sex offence charges.
That's the decision after a court hearing this morning - to decide if there's enough evidence.
His wife's also accused of aiding and abetting. They will appear at Newry Crown Court on 10 September for an arraignment hearing ahead of their trial.

Donaldson is charged with one count of rape, four of gross indecency and 13 of indecent assault. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1985 and 2006 and involve two alleged victims.
