The BBC News reported that Eleanor Donaldson was given a supervision order and placed on the sex offenders' register. According to the outlet's summary, she was found to have done the acts in relation to five charges, including four of aiding and abetting her husband's offending, in what it described as a "trial of the facts". The report is available at BBC News coverage of the supervision order.

The Guardian reported that Eleanor Donaldson, wife of former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson, was placed on the sex offender register for five years for aiding and abetting sexual offences by her husband. Its summary said she appeared via remote link at Newry crown court to hear the order on Friday. The article was written by Rory Carroll, the paper's Ireland correspondent, and is available as The Guardian's report on the register placement.

The two outlets describe the court order differently. The Guardian reported that a judge imposed a three-year treatment order on Donaldson, while the BBC described a supervision order and did not state its length in its summary. The Guardian gave the length of the register placement as five years, but the BBC summary did not give a period. The available summaries do not reconcile these descriptions, and neither outlet's summary explains how the terms of the order relate to the other.

The Guardian's headline identified Jeffrey Donaldson as a former DUP leader, and its summary referred to the offences as sexual offences committed by her husband. The BBC summary did not describe the trial of the facts further, and the Guardian's summary was cut off before its account of the hearing was complete, so the full sequence of the proceedings cannot be confirmed from these reports alone.
