Garrido told victim in 1976 he'd raped before

In 1976, while driving a terrified woman he'd just abducted from Lake Tahoe to a shed in Reno, a 25-year-old Phillip Garrido told his victim he'd raped women before, according to a transcript of the 1976 grand jury proceedings in which Garrido was indicted on rape.

Garrido and his second wife, Nancy Garrido, are being held in El Dorado County Jail in the abduction, 18-year imprisonment and rape of Jaycee Lee Dugard, whom the couple allegedly kidnapped in 1991 from Lake Tahoe when she was 11.

In both cases Garrido appears to have chosen his prey from Lake Tahoe, then drove them to another location where he held them captive.

During the Washoe County grand jury hearing 33 years ago, the 25-year-old victim testified that on Nov. 22, 1976 Garrido feigned having car trouble outside an Al Tahoe market, and asked her for a ride.

Once inside the car, he overpowered her, handcuffed her and shoved her into the passenger seat, throwing a coat over her head so she couldn't see. Then he drove her to a storage unit in Reno he said he'd rented two weeks prior under an alias.

"If you do what I tell you, you won't get hurt and I'm dead serious, I mean it," the victim recalled Garrido saying. "I'll hurt you if you make me."

During the 30 minute ride, the woman said Garrido was talkative

"He talked a lot about Jesus and talked about his (first) wife, about how he was happily married and that the main reason he was doing this was because of a sexual urge ... that he really enjoyed it and he had done it twice before," the woman said.

When they arrived at the Reno shed, the victim said, she thought they were in the desert as Garrido indicated. Instead they were at a storage unit on Mill Street that Garrido rented, just a short drive from his home on Market Street.

The victim said she was still unable to see and Garrido walked her inside. Over the next six hours he sexually assaulted her at least 10 times, "just continuous," she said.

At one point, she testified, he forced her to undress and lie on a filthy mattress.

"He sat on the mattress and I was shaking so badly I was terrified. I think he felt sorry for me and he told me I was the only person who ever made him feel bad for doing this," she said.

The ordeal ended when Reno Police Officer Clifford Conrad saw the victim's vehicle with California plates parked outside the storage unit, and light coming from underneath the roll-up door.

The victim said when she heard Conrad bang on the shed door, she was afraid he was a friend of Garrido's.

"I thought he was going to bring in some friends to use me some more," she said.

Garrido answered the door, then went back to the victim who was hidden behind dividers of plastic sheeting and carpet, she said.

"He said, 'I think it's the police. Are you going to maintain. Are you going to be quiet?"

The woman said when she peeked out she saw Conrad in his uniform and ran out naked.

She said neither Conrad nor Garrido reacted to her.

Then, she recalled, Conrad said, "What the hell is going on here," and Garrido responded, "This is just my girlfriend. We're having a good time."

When Conrad told the woman to get dressed, he allowed Garrido to enter the unit with her, she said.

"When I was there the abductor was begging me not to tell on him, that it would be terribly embarrassing, and please don't turn him in. Just pitifully begging me and I just wanted to get out of the warehouse back to the police officer before he tried anything else," she said.

Garrido was ultimately arrested in the kidnapping and rape.

The federal government prosecuted him on the kidnapping charge, while Washoe County prosecuted him on the rape charge, court records indicate.

After serving 10 years in Leavenworth federal penitentiary in Kansas, where he met and married his current wife Nancy, Garrido was granted federal parole and moved to Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City.

Parole records released by the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners today reveal commissioners denied parole to Garrido at least three times: Feb. 1, 1986; April 1, 1986 and Feb. 1, 1988.

On Aug. 1, 1988, two commissioners granted Garrido parole from Nevada prison with the conditions that he complete a substance abuse treatment program, receive mental health counseling, remain in California, maintain steady employment, undergo drug testing and be subject to search and seizure.

Also released today was a risk assessment sheet that calculated how much time Garrido should serve based on eight questions, including whether he had prior convictions (he had two or more previous convictions that were not detailed), if a weapon was used during the commission of the crime (one was not), and if he was over 18 when he committed the offense.

The numbers are then added up, and Garrido was calculated to be a moderate risk who should serve 10.5 years in prison. He served 11 and was released to his mother's home in Antioch on Aug. 26, 1988.

He remained there until his arrest last week when he showed up at his parole office with his wife, Jaycee Lee Dugard, now 29, whom he called Allissa, and two girls, ages 11 and 15, whom he fathered with Dugard.

Dugard has been reunited with her family and she and her children are in protective custody at an undisclosed location, reports indicate.

The Garridos pleaded not guilty Thursday to 29 counts, including rape, kidnapping and false imprisonment.
