‘C’ case victim speaks out: He ruined my life

RAPIST Simon McGinley destroyed the life of his youngest victim, the woman raped by him at the age of just 13 revealed.

Identified only as Mary, the now 25-year-old opened her heart on RTÉ Radio about the brutal attack that left her pregnant, forced into a succession of care homes and caught at the centre of an infamous legal battle over her right to have an abortion.

“He ruined my life and I am still coming to terms with that. My life is destroyed,” said the woman who has been in and out of psychiatric care since.
