Jaycee Lee Dugard

Jaycee Lee Dugard: Recently News about Jaycee Lee Dugard Readers will almost certainly be fascinated by the Jaycee Lee Dugard report on her 18 years in captivity, when her memoir published this summer. No doubt the publishers will reap a premium sale. The question is what Dugard will get out of it. Now in her early 30s, she doesn't need the money. The Legislature approved a $20-million settlement for her and her family, in recognition of a parole officer's failure to properly check on her kidnapper, Phillip Garrido, a previously registered sex offender. She doesn't need the fame either. She has been in the news in a way that would make anyone uncomfortable; almost one person in the country did not know at least some of her imprisonment in a warehouse in a suburban garden, sexual abuse victims by Garrido, birth their first child when she was 14.
