Evil ... Phillip and Nancy Garrido
A convicted sex offender and his wife have pleaded guilty to kidnapping and raping a girl when she was 11 and holding her captive for nearly two decades.
The pleas came as part of a surprise deal with prosecutors that will spare Californian victim Jaycee Dugard and her two daughters — born after she was raped by defendant Phillip Garrido — from having to testify at a trial.
Jaycee said in a statement: "I'm relieved that Phillip and Nancy Garrido have finally acknowledged their guilt and confessed to their crimes against me and my family."
The family had been kept in a hidden compound of backyard tents and sheds, never attending school or receiving medical attention.
Phillip Garrido, 60, faces a maximum sentence of 431 years in prison after entering guilty pleas to 14 kidnapping and sexual assault charges.
His wife, Nancy Garrido, 55, who originally faced the same charges as her husband, pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping and one count of rape. She faces a maximum sentence of 36 years to life.
