SAN FRANCISCO (CN) - Jaycee Dugard has sued the United States for the 18 years she spent as a kidnap and rape victim of parolee Phillip Garrido, who has been sentenced to 431 years in prison. Dugard, who bore two of Garrido's children during her ordeal, says parole officers knew Garrido repeatedly violated terms of his parole, for years - drinking, taking drugs, and even contacting a previous rape victim - but gave him a pass, saying at one point that "electronic monitoring would be too much of a hassle."
Dugard was kidnapped in 1991, when she was 11 years old. Garrido then "drove her miles away to his mother's home in Antioch, California to become his private possession," according to the federal complaint. "There he sequestered Jaycee in ragged sheds and tentlike structures in his back yard-removed from any semblance of normalcy and functioning society-where he raped Jaycee hundreds of times and over the course of many years. It was also there that Jaycee's two daughters, each fathered by Garrido, were born and raised in the grotesque dysfunction that Garrido created and perpetuated."
