Patty Hearst American newspaper heiress, actress

Patricia Campbell Hearst is the granddaughter of American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst. She became internationally known for events following her 1974 kidnapping and physical violation by a left-wing domestic American terrorist group calling itself the Symbionese Liberation Army. Hearst was found 19 months after being abducted, by which time she was a fugitive wanted for serious crimes. She was held in custody, despite speculation that her family's resources would prevent her from spending time in jail. At her trial, the prosecution suggested that she had joined the Symbionese Liberation Army of her own volition, a claim that conflicted with Hearst's own account that she had been raped and threatened with death. In 1976, she was convicted for the crime of bank robbery and sentenced to 35 years in prison, later reduced to 7 years. Her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter and she was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton.
