17-year-old girl tied up in shipping container, gagged with her underwear and raped with wire by 'evil' ex-boyfriend

This is the harrowing moment a 17-year-old was rescued after being subjected to an "evil and depraved" rape while she was gagged with her own underwear and tied up in a shipping container.

Nikitah Beadman was the victim of Robert Galleghan's twisted assault in Tallai, south east Queensland.

The sick attack took place in 2012, just after she had split from Galleghan over his aggressive behaviour.

However she attended a party at his home as they gathered with mutual friends - but that's when he set upon her.

Their friends tried to stop him, but they were threatened with a knife and fled.

Galleghan has been jailed for eight years

Speaking of the attack, Ms Beadman told Nine Network's A Current Affair: "I knew what was going to happen. He always said he'd bury me out there.

"I actually thought I was dead."

She was carried into the back of Galleghan's property where a shipping container was located, and he tied her to a trolley with wire.

The wire was wrapped around her neck so tightly she could hardly breath.

Then, the vile Galleghan gagged her with her own underwear before raping her with wire.

Ms Beadman said the attack was "not in a sexual way" but "in a torture way, so I couldn't have kids".

During the attack, Galleghan also repeatedly stamped on her stomach before officers arrived, when he told officers that he had been assaulted and wanted to go with officers to the station and make a statement.

However one of the officers spotted the shipping container and heard Ms Beadman's faint cry coming from it.

That's when they began recording, with an officer at the scene saying the attack was "evil and depraved".

The footage was shown to Ms Beadman for the first time yesterday, and she said seeing it was "kind of strange".

"I remember being there, and I remember seeing it from a 3D perspective... something pulled me back," she added.

Galleghan, who was 12 years older than Ms Beadman, first began showing abusive tendencies towards her three months into their relationship.

But he responded to any suggestion that they should split by making threats against her and her family.

Judge David Kent said at Galleghan's trial that the victim has been left in constant pain.
