伦敦（AA）——据周三的一份报道，北爱尔兰民主统一党（DUP）前领袖杰弗里·唐纳森因儿童性犯罪最近被判处15年监禁，目前据称正因涉嫌在英国议会内强奸一名女性而接受调查。
LONDON (AA) - Jeffrey Donaldson, former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in Northern Ireland, who was recently sentenced to 15 years in prison for child sex offenses, is allegedly being investigated for an alleged rape of a woman inside the UK parliament, according to a report on Wednesday.
英国广播公司（BBC）报道称，大都会警察厅正在调查一起2016年发生在议会内的涉嫌强奸女性案件，此前一名女性接受了北爱尔兰警察局（PSNI）警官的访谈。
The Metropolitan Police is investigating an alleged rape of a woman in parliament in 2016, after a woman was interviewed by Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) officers, the BBC reported.
报道称，由于涉嫌事件发生在伦敦，北爱尔兰警察局已将该女性的指控移交大都会警察厅。
The report said the PSNI has shared her claims with the Metropolitan Police, as the alleged incident happened in London.
大都会警察厅在一份声明中证实正在调查一名63岁男子，但未点出前统一党领袖姓名。唐纳森现年63岁。
Without naming the former DUP leader, the Metropolitan Police issued a statement confirming it is investigating a 63-year-old man. Donaldson is 63.
声明称：“10月13日周二，大都会警察厅接到北爱尔兰警察局移交的一份报告，涉及一名现年63岁男子在2016年的一项强奸指控。该指控涉及一名受害者，正由专业警官提供支持。
"On Tuesday 13 October, the Met received a report referred to us by the Police Service of Northern Ireland relating to an allegation of rape in 2016, by a man now aged 63," it said. "The allegation relates to one victim who is being supported by specialist officers.
唐纳森上周因儿童性犯罪被判处15年监禁。承办法官表示，一名女性在成长过程中感到羞耻，她说：‘我每天祈祷上帝让我死去。’唐纳森于2024年3月在警方以强奸和其他历史性性犯罪指控他后辞去党领袖职务。他在7月被判犯有18项罪名成立。
Donaldson was sentenced last week to 15 years in prison for child sex offenses. The judge in the case said that one woman grew up feeling ashamed. She said, "Every day I pray God will let me die." Donaldson resigned as the party leader in March 2024, when police charged him with rape and other historical sexual offenses. He was convicted of 18 offenses in July.
法官表示，这名前议员的罪行导致了‘灾难性的堕入耻辱深渊’。他在7月还被剥夺了爵士头衔。
The judge said that the former MP's offenses have led to a "catastrophic descent into disgrace." He was also stripped of his knighthood in July.
统一党在上周判决后表示：‘他罪有应得，理应在漫长的刑期中度过每一天。’
"He deserves every day of the lengthy prison sentence," the DUP said following last week's judgment.
