Australia girl in collar bomb hoax: man jailed

Excerpt:

A man who strapped a fake bomb around the neck of a Sydney schoolgirl and then fled to the United States was jailed for 13 and a half years on Tuesday after an Australian court ruled he had instilled unimaginable fear into his victim. The case sparked an international manhunt and led to a tense 10 hours for teenager Madeleine Pulver, 18, after the man broke into her family's luxury home in August 2011 and chained what he said was a bomb around her neck, leaving a note demanding money. After extensive tests, bomb technicians determined the box was harmless. Police in the United States arrested Paul Douglas Peters, 52, in Kentucky at his former wife’s home about two weeks after the incident by tracking him through email accounts. In September 2011 he was extradited to Australia.
