Una Ring moves on after stalking ordeal in UK

A woman named Una Ring has shared her journey of recovery after a terrifying stalking incident. Her stalker, James Steele, who was her co-worker, threatened her and showed up at her home with disturbing items. Steele was arrested in July 2020 and was sentenced in February 2021 for harassment and attempted burglary, among other charges. Steele served three years in prison and was released last April. Despite her fears when he was released, Una said she has been able to move on with her life. She feels she has regained control and described her current situation as good. Una is back at work and feels supported by law enforcement. Una has also been active in pushing for new laws to address stalking. She advocated for legislation that makes stalking a standalone crime. This change was significant because, before her case, stalking was not legally recognized. She feels proud that her experience helped improve legal protections for others. Furthermore, Una has shared her story in a documentary called "Stalked," which is nominated for an award. She expressed disbelief at how her story gained attention and emphasized the importance of awareness regarding the legal changes made since her ordeal. While she is happy to have contributed to these changes, Una also noted the emotional toll it took on her. She had to take a step back to focus on her own healing after hearing from other victims.
