From what I can remember he ended up locked up, but for unrelated things. Dodgy character in general.

It is a bit odd that she went through with her but - odd as it is for me to say it - it sort of was the making of her. She was obviously massively off the rails, struggling with school, pretty much certainly on the "junkie path". She was forced to leave school (for "insurance reasons"... Hmmm) but I randomly saw her with her son in town when I was about 20 and she looked like totally normal, well dressed, same for her son, who was also quite well spoken. Who knows what happened there! Though I think she was actually from a very middle class family and it may have been a genuine "bad crowd" situation, and getting pregnant and kicked out of school ironically was what got her away from that life.

Well I'm glad it worked out for her and her son too
