Dugard to sue government for failure to monitor captor

Jaycee Dugard is suing the federal government for failing to monitor the convicted sex offender who kidnapped her and held her captive for 18 years.

The complaint filed in the US District Court in San Francisco today says the failures by federal parole officers in the handling of Phillip Garrido’s case are as “outrageous and inexcusable as they are numerous”.
