The mother of a teenager who took her own life after her father sexually abused her has been left "disgusted" after learning he is up for parole less than a year after her daughter's death.
Megan Reid, from Livingston in West Lothian, was just 17 years old when she died on April 5, 2022. Two years earlier, in 2019, her dad Joseph McGinn was convicted of sexually assaulting her.

McGinn's vile abuse of Megan began in 2008, when she was just four years old. But it wasn't until Megan was 13, that she finally revealed the awful truth to her mum, on Mother's Day 2018.
He was found guilty of sexually assaulting Megan at Glasgow High Court on 17 October 2019 and sentenced to 10 years. He is supposed to be serving seven years in prison for sentences running concurrently and consecutively, but is now up for automatic parole after less than four years.
Gemma, who described Megan as a "bright, bubbly and intelligent" child who was her mum's "best pal", added that she felt "failed" by the justice system.
She said: "Him getting out basically shows me that it doesn't matter what perpetrators do to people that have been sexually abused. I
