When Scarlet O’Connor decided to have a fling with old friend Aiden Feeney, it was only meant to be a one-night-stand. Aiden, however, had other ideas. He refused to listen when Scarlet, 23, insisted they weren’t a couple and instead, he began harassing the part-time waitress. Aiden, 24, of Brackley Street, Worsley, bombarded her with thousands of abusive texts in just 72 hours, bricked her house and her sister’s car, and sent menacing threats. The nightmare came to a terrifying head when Feeney paid an arsonist to torch Scarlet’s home in Walkden, Manchester in the middle of the night in September, 2013. Aiden’s terrifying actions turned Scarlet into a recluse and after seeing her house devastated by the blaze, Scarlet even fled to the other side of the world to escape the memories.
