Rapist Simon McGinley tracked down to hideout in Dublin following prison release

This is the moment The Star tracked notorious rape beast Simon McGinley down to his Dublin hideout.

Our exclusive pictures show McGinley (48), who is considered to be one of the worst sexual predators this country has ever seen, living his new life in a west Dublin suburb, following his recent release from prison. The cowardly double-rapist, who was freed from Dublin’s Arbour Hill Prison exactly one month ago today, ran away from this paper’s questions when approached outside his new home yesterday.

McGinley turned his back, put on a face-mask and ran straight for the front entrance of an apartment block as we asked him if he had any apology for his victims. Looking far older than the last public pictures of him in 2009, McGinley was now sporting glasses, greying hair and a beard.
