A Youghal woman said that seeing the man who threatened to rape her going to jail was not the "win" – she said that happened when gardaí arrested him outside her home before he could carry out his threat.

Una Ring was talking after 52-year-old James Steele – a man she had no relationship with but who became obsessed with her – was jailed for five years and ordered to stay away from her and her family forever.
