Early crimes Standing tall at 6 feet, 5 inches (1, 95 meters) and very slim, the 17-year-old soon joined the Marine Corps, serving from 1947 to 1949. He was dishonorably discharged after he was arrested and convicted of stealing a vehicle while absent on leave. While incarcerated, Terry alleged that he was raped by other inmates. Three months after his release, in April 1951, the now-21-year-old assaulted two women on the same evening in Kennebec County, raping one of them.
