The police were informed by Scientologists of his 'threatening' posts, and Henson was arrested. Following what has been described as a parody of a trial, he was sentenced to a year in the Riverside jail for 'interfering with a religion.'

But Henson claimed that his life would be in danger from Scientologists if he were imprisoned -- and so he fled to Canada in 2001.

After another tipoff from Scientologists, Henson was swiftly arrested by the Canadian authorities.

Henson was ultimately released from a Canadian jail after filing an application for political asylum. For three years he lived as an expatriate in Canada, awaiting a final decision.

When Canadian officials reached a decision in 2005, Henson was suddenly fearful for his life. He reportedly said, “I’m not going to be shoved across the border into the hands of Scientologists."

He quietly slipped out of the country and evaded capture, until this year. It was in the small town of Prescott, Arizona that the law finally caught up with him.

Henson was taken into custody, and now faces extradition back to the California prison he’s feared for the last six years.

Henson’s wife, identifying herself as a 'soon to be widow,' issued a plea asking the public for legal help, publicity -- “anything but the usual Scientology private eyes who have harassed her for years.”
