Upon release of the movie, Tracey received thousands of letters. She has not responded to them, but has read and kept them all.
Buck moved to Massachusetts where he was involved with a woman whom he abused too. Although not to the extent of Tracey's story, the woman also filed a restraining order against Buck.
Tracey got remarried. She happily still lives in Torrington.
Tracey called the police on Buck roughly 19 times.
Since the attack, Torrington has a law called "Thurman Law."
