Serial rapist Dennis Smolly, who abused seven teenage girls and a woman for decades, died in prison from Covidet at the age of 70, the Daily Mail reported today.

Dennis Smalli of Hindley in Wigan, UK, raped seven women and teenagers and sexually abused four other girls for a total of about 45 years. One of the women he attacked gave birth.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Smalli started attacking women in the seventies and continued to do so for almost 45 years. His victims - some of whom were abused after grooming - suffered "psychological scars" after the attack.

Smoly, nicknamed the "Monster", was sentenced to 25 years in prison at HMP Wakefield Prison in March 2016, at the age of 65. The jury found him guilty on 44 charges - 25 counts of rape, 16 counts of assault.

His death was confirmed Monday in an official report by the prison ombudsman, who is conducting independent investigations into complaints and deaths in custody. Resolly reportedly died at the hospital of Covid-19-induced pneumonia on March 16.

It is said that Smoly did not leave Wakefield in the weeks before he fell ill and therefore appears to have contracted the coronavirus in prison. The convict was vaccinated on February 25, but tested positive on March 2. His condition worsened and he was hospitalized on March 11. He died five days later.

The Daily Mail reports that Smoly is the 26th Wakefield prisoner to die of coyote in March 2019.

One of Smoly's victims, a 43-year-old woman who became pregnant after being attacked as a teenager in a car near Wigan Cemetery in the greater Manchester area, reported the attack when it happened, but Smoly was not prosecuted because someone gave a false alibi, writes "Wigan Today".

She said the coranovirus "left him to die easily" and denied further punishment for the "monster" that ruined her life. She said she should have "rotted in prison and suffered longer" if death had not saved her.

"This monster got out too easily," she said.

"I was a normal, happy student with life plans, I wanted to go to the army, but that man destroyed everything in a few brutal minutes. "And it traumatized the lives of many other women."

Almost half a century has passed during which the victim has gone through various traumas - surveillance and threats by the attacker, psychological problems and suicide attempts. This lasted until a member of Smoly's family contacted her, urging her to return. She was then told that 28 women had come forward with charges of assault. Following the trial in 2016, Smoly was found guilty of 43 crimes by 11 victims and sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever for a Wigan sex offender.

The 43-year-old victim was now 14 years old when the attack took place and was a friend of the child to whom Smoly was a cousin. The victim and another girl kept the child in his house. She thought she could trust him, but one day while waiting for the bus, Smoly stopped her car and offered her a ride.

Instead of going to the friend she was going to, Smoly took her the other way to the cemetery and attacked her.

- He did not say anything, he tore my clothes, I was paralyzed with fear. When it was over, I was shaking. I told him to take me to my friend. "He did it, but he said he would kill me if I told anyone what happened," the victim said.

She later found out she was pregnant and hid it, but it was revealed when she fainted at school. She said Smolly raped her, but his girlfriend gave him a fake alibi.

"I was devastated," she said.

It was too late for an abortion and she gave birth to a baby girl, who was mainly raised by her mother. A few years later, the victim became pregnant again with a man, but gave the two daughters up for adoption.

"I could not connect with any of them," she said.

Eventually she got married and had two more children, but that did not last. She moved from Wigan, but came to visit her family, and Smoly, who lived nearby, continued to threaten her.

It was not until 2015 that she was contacted by Smoly's cousin who believed her story and told her that others had filed a lawsuit, and she turned to the police again.
