Disgusted West Lothian mum fears dad who abused tragic daughter may get parole

A West Lothian mum whose daughter took her own life after years of abuse from her father is ‘disgusted’ after discovering he is up for parole.

Megan Reid, from Livingston, was just 17-years-old when she died on April 5, 2022. Two years earlier, her father Joseph McGinn was convicted of sexually assaulting her.

Megan’s mum, Gemma McKeown, told the Daily Record that McGinn’s abuse left Megan so ‘broken’ that she was never able to come to terms with what had happened. Ten months on from losing her daughter, Gemma, 34, has been shocked to learn McGinn could be up for parole as early as February.
