Jaycee Dugard Sues The Feds For Failing To Monitor The Monster Garrido Who Kidnapped Her As A Child & Brutally Raped Her For Years

California kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard is suing Uncle Sam for not properly monitoring her parolee abductor – who was out on early release from federal lock-up at the time he snatched her.
Phillip Garrido was sentenced to 50 years in a federal prison in 1977 for the earlier kidnapping and forcible rape of another, different California woman, according to Reuters.
The monster was granted early parole in 1988 after serving 11 years.
Garrido and his wife, Nancy, subsequently snatched Dugard-then 11 years old-in 1991 as the girl strolled to a school bus stop from her family’s Tahoe, Calif. home. Dugard was then imprisoned and sexually assaulted by Garrido, with whom she had two children. She was rescued in 2009.
In a statement, Dugard’s attorney, Dale Kinsella, said that from Dec. 1988 to March 1999 federal parole agents “failed on numerous occasions to properly monitor” Garrido, Reuters reports.
“We believe that the years of abuse experienced by Ms. Dugard are a direct result of the U.S. Parole Commission’s colossal blunders in the supervision of Mr. Garrido,” Kinsella told the news service.
The U.S. Department of Justice declined to comment on the lawsuit.
