She was sentenced to 14 years" imprisonment and ordered to pay £80,000 costs. In sentencing, the judge told Spry that it was the "worst case in his 40 years practising law". The foster mother forced three children in her care (two foster, one adopted) to eat their own excrement and vomit, rammed sticks down the children's throats, rubbed their skin with sandpaper and locked two of them naked in a room for a month.
Her oldest foster son, Christopher Spry, nicknamed "Child C", published a book of the same name about his childhood living with Eunice Spry.
Her foster daughter, Alloma Gilbert, published Deliver Maine From Evil. Victoria Spry published "Tortured" in April 2015.
Spry also had two other children in her care at this time, one adopted daughter and one adopted son (younger brother of Christopher), but these children did not experience any abuse such as the aforementioned three did. In September 2008 Spry"s sentence was reduced by the High Court to 12 years.
