After eventually being cleared of any charges she returned home shaken, assuming the nightmare was over—but her troubles had just begun. Five years after her ordeal, Terry awoke one morning to the antiterrorist police breaking down her door. She was arrested and soon after found herself being extradited to Spain to be tried abroad. In an inexplicably cruel twist of fate, Terry was sentenced to 10 years in a maximum-security Spanish prison.
