It was revealed in court papers Thursday that Jaycee Lee Dugard kept a secret diary during the 18 years she was held captive in a backyard dungeon by Phillip and Nancy Garrido.

It's standard for rape victims in CA - seemingly, a legal formality in this case.

WHEN YOU ARE A CHILD BEING ABUSED LIKE THIS IT IS HARD TO KNOW WHO TO TRUST AND WHO NOT TO TRUST SO YOU TELL YOURSELF TO TRUST NO ONE AND THAT ALONE KEEPS YOU TRAPPED

A strong and courageous woman. I am glad she is free now and so are her children. I hate that they have to live with the past and how this slime victimized her and her children. God will make him pay, he will have to answer to his deviance!
