The couple that kidnapped and raped Jaycee Dugard when she was only 11 years-old have been given life sentences.
Jaycee Dugard was held captive by Nancy and Phillip Garrido for 20 years, with her abductor fathering two daughters.
Phillip Garrido, 60, was sentenced to 431 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping and 13 sexual assault charges, including six counts of rape and seven counts of committing lewd acts captured on video.
Garrido was described as ?a sexual predator who stole the childhood and innocence from an 11-year-old child?.
Nancy Garrido, 55, who also pleaded guilty, was handed a 36-year sentence.
Here?s the news coverage of the Garrido?s sentencing:
Before the Garrido?s were sentenced, Jaycee?s mother, Terry Probyn, read a statement from her daughter:
?I chose not to be here today because I refuse to waste another second of my life in your presence,? Dugard wrote, addressing Phillip Garrido. ?Everything you ever did to me was wrong, and I hope one day you will see that.
?I hated every second of every day for 18 years. You stole my life and that of my family.?
Jaycee was only 11 years-old when she was kidnapped in 1991 and hidden in a backyard compound she later shared with her two daughters that were fathered by her rapist.
The plea deal was designed to spare Jaycee Dugard and her daughters from having to testify.
Dugard has written a memoir entitled ?A Stolen Life?, which will be released in July.
