Some perverts and pervert supporters would tell you that sex offender registries are “too much” and should be abolished. I think this story proves that monitoring of known perverts doesn’t go far enough. From SF Gate:
A woman kidnapped as an 11-year-old girl nearly two decades ago from outside her South Lake Tahoe home turned up Wednesday, and a Contra Costa County couple have been arrested in connection with her abduction, authorities said today.
Jaycee Dugard, now 29, is believed to have borne children by the man who is accused of kidnapping her in 1991, Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, law enforcement sources said.
Garrido, who lives in an unincorporated area near Antioch, was being held in lieu of $1 million bail on suspicion of kidnapping, rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor, sexual penetration and conspiracy.
His wife, Nancy Garrido, 55, was also being held on suspicion of conspiracy and kidnapping. Her bail was also $1 million. Both were initially booked into the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez, but have since been moved to an undisclosed site.
Authorities were searching the Garridos’ home today. Neighbors and other acquaintances described strange behavior by Phillip Garrido, who conducted religious revivals in a tent and said he had developed a device through which he could control sound with his mind. Residents said several children lived at the house.
Investigators believe Phillip Garrido kept Dugard in a shed for two years when she was a child and that she had also been housed in other outbuildings on the property, law enforcement sources said.
Garrido was hardly flying under the radar behavior wise and his degenerate wife was helping him keep these children captive for his perverse sexual enjoyment. Had authorities kept tabs on him with the occasional home visit, they’d have found ample reason years ago to bring him in. As it was this story only had a happy ending because the pervert was acting suspicious around UC Berkeley and was called into his PO’s office, with Dugard in tow:
The Garridos were arrested Wednesday after Phillip Garrido was brought to a state parole office in Concord, accompanied by a woman and two small children, officials with the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said. Garrido, a registered sex offender, had been brought in for questioning because someone reported suspicious activity involving him and the two children the day before at UC Berkeley, officials said.
“Diligent questioning” and further investigation by state authorities and Concord police revealed that the woman was Dugard and the children were Phillip Garrido’s, officials said in a statement.
If only his PO had checked on him earlier. This should prove to nay sayers that keeping track of sex offenders, and the guttersluts that hang around them, is the only way to ensure they won’t go on to rape more innocent victims.

Garrido and his wife should both be executed.
As they say (they being me along with quite a few others) the only way to cure a pedophile is to kill them. I’ve never been particularly bloodthirsty but the more I learn about pedophilia and encounter them in person as well as online the more I truly believe this.
Soylent Green anyone?
We could use them as feed for the prison system. They’re already eaten alive in there anyway.
I like the term “gutterslut” the guy used above; that is just what they are. Parole officers should be doing surprise visits and property walkabouts. Sex offenders/pedophiles are not watched closely enough. Everyone should do a search of their neighborhood via websites that list the sex offenders in your area, and watch out for these weirdos ourselves.
I agree Janice. We need to watch out for children ourselves.
This story just horrifies me. Can you imagine the trauma this woman has suffered? Being torn from her family, raped repeatedly, receiving no proper education from age 11 on, giving birth at about 14 and again at about 18 to daughters who were very likely also sexually abused by the man who fathered them and who also probably didn’t receive any sort of proper education…
We definitely need to bring back the death penalty nationwide and use it for the likes of these people.

Disgusting.
These people are primarily one of the ugly by products of Pornographic material!
Anyone who looks at or reads this crap is susceptible to becoming perverted to this degree. You might not think so, but you are!
The reason it is so addictive is because when you willingly look at or read the stuff you make yourself open to demonic influences, which tempt you to no end to do their bidding.
OMGs… Jerry, you have got to be kidding me.
If you think that an adult who looks at adult consensual material (meaning the stuff that doesn’t depict or glorify abuse or rape, and doesn’t involve minors) is going to cause them to become child predators, you seriously need to yoink your head out of your ass. If they don’t have any of these issues to begin with, viewing porn isn’t going to create them out of thin air. I have no interest in porn at all (in fact, I find it to be a turn-off), and even I know this.
I agree with everything DodiaFae wrote. Jerry, I wonder, is your scapegoating of porn a way of relieving your conscience for some vile acts you’ve committed?
Phillip Garrido is a predator, a foul narcissist who knows right from wrong and willfully chose the latter. He wasn’t looking to act out some pornographic fantasy; he sought a vulnerable child he could hold captive and victimize over and over with little chance of consequences.
Yeah. I’m going to have to say that the pornography made him do it defense is in essence and excuse for man embracing evil. I’m no fan of modern porn, but I like a good old fashioned nude pictorial as much as the next guy, and there simply isn’t anything wrong with sex between consenting adults, even if they are consenting to film it for ugly people to watch.
Perverts existed prior to porn and they would exist in the absence of porn. Garrido can not be redeemed, he was not pushed into evil he embraced it. To put the responsibility for his actions on external influences is an attack on the ability of all men and women to choose to do right.
Apparently there’s one on every discussion board…
I really wish that people would quit making excuses for these filthy degenerates and call them what they are. Even more, I wish that the legal system would get on with taking care of them more appropriately when they’re caught. Had this guy been kept locked away, or better yet, gotten the death penalty for his previous crime, this story would never even have happened and that woman would have grown up with her family where she belonged.
And before any of the bleeding hearts out there try to claim a sexual assault is no reason for the death penalty, I think this story more than proves otherwise. She was 11 years old when he took her, 14 when the rapes she endured resulted in the birth of her first child. And those two little girls she gave birth to while held captive very likely suffered abuse at the hands of the monster who fathered them. And these three girls, along with his victim(s) from his previous conviction(s), were most likely not his only victims.
