You won't want to miss "Locked Up Abroad: Cuzco" on the National Geographic Channel airing April 1st at 10pm eastern.
Through drinking, drugs and partying, Sarah racks up a debt she can't cover. Too embarrassed to go to her family, she turns to a loan shark for money. But her inability to repay leaves her at his mercy. His solution: bring back two suitcases of cocaine from Peru and her debt will be forgiven.
To avoid suspicion while traveling, she invites along Simon, an innocent-looking man with a clean record whom she met at a bar. But she never tells him her true intentions. They spend a few days enjoying Peru, but on the last day, Sarah is given two suitcases to carry home.
While curious, Simon dismisses the luggage and everything goes smoothly until Sarah is detained by Peruvian law enforcement when they discover the drugs. Both she and Simon are thrown into prison for months.
Sarah accepts full responsibility and Simon maintains his innocence and after nearly a year in jail, he is finally released but still stuck in Peru while courts decide the case. Sarah is still in jail with a 7-year sentence.
