Did you know that it was us who allowed Nancy and Phillip Garrido to meet and marry in Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas whilst he was serving a 50-year federal sentence for kidnap and violent sexual assault?. She was 26 and he was 30. His psychiatric evaluation diagnosed him as a "sexual deviant and chronic drug abuser”.

So even though we knew him to be a known ‘sexual deviant’, in prison to protect society from him, society didn’t protect Nancy either from him or herself. We put them together and then let them get married! Can you believe what you are reading?

The issue of Prison Marriages needs to be re-examined!

Are we converting our penitentiaries into a criminal dating service? A club house between dominant male sexual deviants and mentally weak, vulnerable women? Or was Nancy a willing female pedophile?

Maybe one of society’s last taboos is the concept of ‘female pedophiles acting alone’. When a couple is present we assume the woman is coerced. We cannot accept that if a man is present that the woman is a willing participant.This way we don’t have to consider that the woman is the evildoer or an eager participant. We are not yet equipped to even think that women can willingly abuse children.

Female sexual abuse is much more threatening to the fabric of our society- it undermines our core beliefs and feelings about how women should relate to children.

This begs the question, “Is Nancy a female pedophile?” Was Nancy coerced or acted willingly?
Even after the trial we cannot guarantee that the truth will out but that still doesn’t address the fact. We paid for the wedding!

Garrido was convicted of kidnap and rape and began serving a 50-year federal sentence on June 30, 1977, at Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas. In a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, Garrido was diagnosed as a "sexual deviant and chronic drug abuser."

At Leavenworth, Garrido first saw Nancy Bocanegra, who was calling on another prisoner, her uncle. On October 5, 1981, Phillip Garrido and Nancy Bocanegra were married at Leavenworth. Seven years before Phillip Garrido would be let out from prison

Let me repeat my question. Did we place a weak and vulnerable woman under the power and control of a diagnosed incarcerated “sexual deviant” or are women pedophiles much more responsible for their abuse of children than society wishes to admit?

Prison Marriages. This is a subject that needs much debate but meanwhile what were we doing letting them get married in the first place?
