How could we ever allow these two perverts to meet and marry? We gave permission for Phillip Garrido to cultivate a relationship and marry Nancy Garrido when he was in Leavenworth Penitentiary, Kansas serving a 50-year federal sentence for kidnap and rape. She was 26 and he was 30. His psychiatric evaluation diagnosed him as a "sexual deviant and chronic drug abuser”.

So even though the Prison authorities knew he was a known ‘sexual deviant’, locked away to protect society from him, we didn’t protect Nancy either from him or herself. We gave them the opportunity to be together and then let them get married! I'm shocked! This is unbelievable!
The issue of Prison Marriages needs to be reviewed!

Did we allow a sexual deviant, Phillip Garrido, to entice a mentally frail, defenseless Nancy? Or was Nancy a willing female pedophile?

Maybe one of society’s ultimate taboos is the concept of ‘female pedophiles acting alone’. When a man and woman is present we assume the woman is coerced. Society cannot accept that when a man is present that the woman is a willing participant.This way we don’t have to consider that the woman is the transgressor or an eager participant. We push away the idea that women can be voluntarily engage in the sexual abuse of 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 invokes the question, “Is Nancy a female pedophile?” Did Phillip Garrido compel Nancy to be involved or was she willing?

Wherever the truth of this lies there is one important issue we cannot dismiss. 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 the same prison, Garrido first saw Nancy Bocanegra, who was paying a visit to another prisoner, her uncle. On October 5, 1981, Phillip Garrido and Nancy Bocanegra were married at Leavenworth. What were the Prison authorities doing when they allowed this marriage to go ahead, despite the fact Phillip Garrido wasn’t discharged for another seven years?

So the question stays the same. 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 discussing but for now what were we doing letting them get married in the first place?
