Penney’s Jail Time
Even back in the ‘60s, a teenager didn’t just move in with a married man without attracting attention. Penney was arrested in 1963 after her relationship with Ed was reported to the local police. She stated in her 2014 declaration that she had spent the night in the North End Prison in Bridgeport while the police tried to convince her to sign papers admitting to the affair.

But when she refused to cooperate with police, the court ordered her to report to a delinquent youth office for the next month. According to Penney’s statements, every week, Ed picked her up from school and drove her to those mandated meetings.
