A woman has told how she fled to Australia, after a one night stand burned down her house. Scarlet O’Connor, 23, was terrorised by jilted Aiden Feeney, 24, who bombarded her with thousands of texts after the pair slept together in August 2013. Feeney's campaign of terror finally ended when he was arrested for setting fire to her house. He was found guilty of arson with intent to endanger life and two counts of harassment and jailed for eight and a half years in August last year. Despite Feeney being behind bars, Scarlet is still haunted by the memories and has been forced to start a new life on the other side of the world.
