The Star has learned that depraved beast James O’Reilly, 77, who was jailed for 20 years in 2020, died in the Midlands Prison on Monday - as one of his daughter’s reacted by saying he should “rot in hell.”
During the harrowing rape trial two years ago, the court heard Helen tell how her father took everything away from her - as she was raped, starved and beaten by him all her life. During his 27 day trial the court heard how the abuse took place between 1977 and 2000 and how O'Reilly raped one daughter, which caused her to become pregnant in late 1988.O'Reilly was aged around 34 when he raped the first victim, his 13-year-old younger sister. He abused her for the next three years, attacking her in a van.
One victim, who was raped until she was aged 20, said she couldn't tell her husband because “saying you are being raped [as a] Traveller is like being thrown to the side of the road, you'd have to go back to the bog”. Margaret Hutchinson was aged ten in 1981 when her father first began molesting her. A year later he raped her in the back of the van.A witness at the trial recalled how in 1986 she met this victim in the bog and “she was shaking and crying”.
