Sir Jeffrey and his wife were arrested at their County Down home on 28 March.
Following a day of questioning, the couple were charged by police with separate offences and both released on bail.
Sir Jeffrey quit as DUP leader with immediate effect after he was charged, but at the time he remained in post as MP for Lagan Valley.
However, in May his solicitor confirmed that Sir Jeffrey would not contest the next general election.
When Parliament was dissolved on 30 May to facilitate a snap general election in July, Sir Jeffrey automatically lost his seat, along with all other sitting MPs.
The couple’s first court appearance in relation to the historical sex abuse charges took place in Newry on 24 April.
For that preliminary hearing there was a huge media presence outside the court as Sir Jeffrey arrived.
Police officers formed a protective line to hold the crowd back as the former politician made his way inside the building. His wife arrived separately.
During the seven-minute hearing the couple spoke only to confirm their names and dates of birth, and to say they understood the charges.
As is usual practice in a first court appearance, neither defendant was asked to formally enter a plea.
They will be given an opportunity to answer the charges at a later stage of proceedings.
On Tuesday, news broke that Sir Jeffrey would face additional charges.
Initially, the ex-MP had been accused of 11 offences.
The case has come back to court since for another preliminary hearing, but Wednesday was only the second time the couple have been order to appear in person.
