Girl Found After 18 years....kidnapped by a sex offender

She had two kids?! wtf how did it take so long to be found...

This is just tragic. Hate hearing stories like this, makes me wonder how many more people this is happening to. What an awful world we live in.

He should have a life sentence! The things he did are really horrible and unforgivable.
I can't believe there are people as bad as that.

I remember i had heard and saw this story on news. It was really gross to know that such abuse do happened to some women. That criminal should be really be jailed for a lifetime together with her criminal wife. They are definitely suffering from mental illness for doing such crime. They took away so many years and destroyed the youth of the victim and her children.

I remember hearing about this a while ago...

I can't really contribute much to the discussion other than saying... what... the hell? It's... it's... it's so hard to believe that there exists such evil in this world... it's sad, but true. There's always going to be that one evil person who does something like this no matter what we do.

I watched a documentary about this last week and I still can’t believe someone would do this. I also really feel for her mother as the thought of knowing that your child is still alive somewhere, possibly being tortured and yet there is nothing that you can do about it must be unbearable.

What shocked me most was that the attacker had already been in jail before for raping a woman and yet he was still allowed back out into society even though the police were sure he would reoffend.

I saw the special on t.v. on 20/20 I think and the whole time she looks so calm and serene like it was no big deal. I don't think I would have the will power, would be crying the whole show.

This story is just sad. How could someone do something like that? I am glad that everyone is ok. I am glad that he is in jail and not on the streets.

Very poor girl She will never spend a normal life one day...
Last month I have heard nearly the same story in Germany. But it was a father, who misuses his two daughters over ten years. Maybe the two girls were very traumatized, because they shop in a supermarket but always come back to their fathers house. They also got children but killed them.
It is very sad that these story are not individual cases.

Poor girl. 18 years in the hands of the kidnapper is a very traumatic experience. The worst part is that she has two kids with him. She should undergo a counselling to make her life back to normal again.

At 11 years old, one is still very young to be able to make any decision on their own, I think some of you are being too hard on her. If this mans wife was unable to tell on him to the police all this time, and lived with this girl knowing that her husband was sleeping with her and even getting kids with her, don't you all thing this man had some kid of hold on both women.

I think he put so much fear in his wife and this girl by threatening them with my be death of family members such that they had to make a choice of living with him. Am happy for her that finally she was able to walk free and put the man in jail. Justice may delay but it still comes to those who wait.

My heart goes out to this pour little girl, well now grown woman, and her family. It is sickening that a man and his wife can even THINK about doing something like this, but then to actually go through with kidnapping an 11 year old girl and hold her captive like that and to also impregnate the girl ....
Things like this also make me even more angry about our legal system because I do not feel we punish criminals to the extent they should be. (In terms of they get sentenced to so many years, but can end up being paroled shortly after they are incarcerated.)
The psychological damage this woman is going to have to try to over come for her children, not to mention the confusion and psychological damage the children she gave birth to are going to experience.
These stories are always so sad. Please do keep us updated as you learn more information. I am praying that justice is served for the sake of this woman and her family.

Whoa, why is he only being charged that long? Life sentence is what he should be getting .

Good thing that the young woman is free, however, all those years, why did she not try to escape? Any details about how she was kept captive? Did they chain her or something besides keeping her in the backyard that she can't just run for the main door and head somewhere safer? And two children, jeez.
