Jeffrey Donaldson at a Belfast airport last month before the scandal of child sex charges hit the headlines
The 61-year-old was arrested at his Co Down home in March and charged later that day.
He has said he will be strenuously contesting the charges, which include an allegation of rape.
His 57-year-old wife Eleanor is also due at Newry Magistrates’ Court accused of aiding and abetting in connection with the alleged offences.
Sir Jeffrey resigned as DUP leader within hours of being charged on 28 March, with Gavin Robinson appointed as the party’s interim leader.
