Film-maker Amy Berg: Oliver O’Grady must be closely monitored
The award-winning documentary maker who interviewed paedo ex-priest Oliver O’Grady has warned he still poses a serious threat to children.
O’Grady, 68, was dubbed the “Hannibal Lecter” of child sex attackers after it emerged he had abused up to 50 kids.
He was freed from Dublin’s Arbour Hill Prison in April after being convicted on child pornography charges.
The defrocked priest, who is originally from Limerick and served in dioceses in California in the 1970s, has claimed he no longer poses a danger to youngsters.
But Amy Berg, who directed the controversial 2006 Oscar-nominated documentary Deliver us from Evil, which centred on O’Grady, said he is not to be trusted.
Speaking to the Irish Sunday Mirror from her home in California, Ms Berg said O’Grady needs to watched closely by authorities.
