AISLING BRADY MCCARTHY, the Irish nanny who was accused of killing a one-year-old girl who was in her charge in Boston, plans to take a legal action in the American civil courts to expose her treatment at the hands of the authorities there.
Brady McCarthy spent 27 months in prison after being charged with the murder of baby Rehma Sabir in 2013.
In September 2015 all charges against the 37-year-old Cavan woman were dropped. She was subsequently deported from the US where she had lived as an illegal immigrant since 2002.
She now wants to see the doctor who first implicated her regarding Rehma’s death, Dr Alice Newton, and Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan held accountable for her imprisonment.
“They weren’t just wrong in my case, they were reckless,” McCarthy told the Boston Globe in an interview.
And they never lost a minute’s sleep. They just moved on to the next case. I want to expose this because I don’t want it to happen to anyone else.
Ruined
In September McCarthy’s lawyer said that her life had been ruined. Now she is trying to pick up the pieces with her husband Don in Ballincollig, Co Cork, as she plans her legal challenge.
“If I don’t let go, it will consume me,” she told the Boston Globe.
I don’t want people to feel sorry for me. I want to move on.
McCarthy says that she has been unable to find work since returning home.
“I was a nanny. I’m not going to do that again,” she said.
Who’s going to want to hire a 37-year-old who’s been out of the country for 15 years?
McCarthy has not ruled out returning to America, although Boston is no longer an option according to her interview.
The former nanny is banned from returning to the US for at least 10 years after her deportation for living there as an illegal immigrant.
She says however that her incarceration has given her a new perspective on life:
“When I was in prison, I had a loving family that came to see me.”
I called my husband twice a day. Some of the girls had nobody. Some people have nothing. No matter what, your life is always better than someone else’s.

Disgraceful company, stole the entire game off of a smaller developer, then sued the original developer for copyright infringement to boot. Complete and utter w*****s
Not a bunch to be trusted.
They also trademarked the word “Candy” in Europe.
Didn’t know that.
And there was me about to post a happy comment, oh well expect the worst and you’ll never be disappointed.
used to play it, got to level 167 i think, never paid a thing cos… its rigged. you could be stuck on a level from repeated play in one sitting, come back 2 days later, clear it right away. they see you’ve not used it in a while, so let you move on again. Got bored of it then. Logged into recently and im back at level 1, think they revamped it or maybe they do that if you stop using it for 6 months.
If you have kids near this, don’t let them pay a cent.
Not with a barge pole! Remember Zynga.
Bain of my life
I heard chuck norris just made it to level 587,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. He is halfway to completing the game.
On level 421 and I never have & never will pay a cent to play! :-)
Level 500 is impossible. I really don’t think it’s possible without buying extra moves or help. It’s the very last level so if you wanna finish the game you’ll have to pay up.
Level 500… Seriously, it’s driving me insane at level 86…
Got past it and on 508 now. There are no last levels, it goes on and on and on, taunting me to keep going or fail!!! Aaaah!!
No. Level 500 is the last level in Candy crush saga unless it haven’t done an update.
Dam it! Just updated it. Not on the last level anymore. Dam you Candy Crush!!
Passed level 500 yesterday after a month . Nightmare level
Hahahahaha, see it never flucking ends!! It’s a diabolical plot!!
My secret shame…..not so secret anymore :((
Feel rather sorry for guy who made Candy Stripe, which King blatantly ripped off and netted loss of earnings as result.
You can still get the original Candy Stripe on Play store.
413 million profits with 12.5% tax! That’s over 51 million to the exchequer. thanks candycrush……… or not?
93 million people with their heads down tutting!!
…mind you, it seems like a little more of a realistic valuation
They’re not giving a valuation as far as I can see though, unless their multiplier is about 1.2 in which case barge pole distance is about as close as private investors are ever likely to get! They’ve just said how much they plan to raise, but no indication of market cap in this article. If the valuation is right they’ll get plenty of interest, lots of m&a in the industry so plenty willing to have a punt in the hope a tech giant might move for them down the road.
Good point(s).
If off to spend my money on cheap hookers so.
Always a sound investment! As long as the return doesn’t involve a trip to James’ of course!
have your say
