Couple Admit To Their Roles In Kidnapping Of 11-Year-Old

SAN FRANCISCO — Ending a sordid criminal ordeal that began two decades ago with a kidnapping on a South Lake Tahoe street, a convicted sex offender and his wife pleaded guilty on Thursday to the abduction, rape and imprisonment of Jaycee Lee Dugard.

Ms. Dugard, then 11 years old and now 30, was kidnapped in 1991 and subsequently held and sexually assaulted by Philip Garrido, now 60, and his wife, Nancy, 55, at their home outside Antioch, Calif., a Bay Area suburb. Mr. Garrido, who was on parole for a previous rape conviction, fathered two daughters by Ms. Dugard and built a secret backyard compound to hold her and the children.

A lengthy legal tussle followed the couple’s arrest, with a trial tentatively planned for August. But on Thursday, both Mr. Garrido and his wife pleaded guilty, with Mr. Garrido facing a maximum sentence of 431 years in prison, and his wife 36 years to life. Both waived their right to appeal — sentencing is scheduled for June 2 — and are expected to spend the rest of their lives in prison. 


431 years and 36 to life? too good for them

A couple more for my longed-for island prison for the scumiest of the scum...
