A MAN was jailed for five years for a terrifying stalker-style campaign against a woman he became obsessed with and who he had warned he would rape after breaking into her house.
Gardaí arrested James Steele (52) after a special surveillance operation had to be mounted around the woman's home and he was found to be in possession of items including duct tape, rope and a plastic sex toy.
Steele of Reavilleen Rosscarbery, Co Cork later told detectives the only explanation he could offer for his actions was that he had become totally obsessed with his former work colleague, Una Ring.
