SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - More details are emerging about the
California man accused of abducting and sexually abusing Jaycee Lee
Dugard.
Phillip Garrido was tried for kidnapping and rape in 1977.
During that trial, Garrido testified that he prowled through
residential neighborhoods as a Peeping Tom and had strong rape
desires. Garrido also said that he leered at girls as young as
seven and 10, and admitted to exposing himself to some of them.
The portrait of the 58-year-old Garrido comes from trial
transcripts and a psychiatric report from unrelated case files made
public Monday. In the 1977 case, Garrido was convicted in Reno,
Nev., of kidnapping a stranger. He later admitted to raping the
woman in a rented storage unit.
Garrido served 10 years in a federal prison. He then served
seven months for the rape conviction in a Nevada prison before
being released in 1988. Less than three years later, he allegedly
abducted Dugard.
