On September 25, 2006, based almost entirely on her testimony, he is convicted on three counts of rape, one of kidnapping and one of criminal possession of a weapon. On October 20, 2006, he is given a heavy sentence. Peguero marries, gets involved with the Catholic Church, then confesses to a priest, before RECANTING her testimony. On September 1, 2009, McCaffrey is released; the now former Biurny Peguero pleads guilty to perjury and is sentenced to up to 3 years in prison.
