He impregnated Jaycee for the first time when she was just 13, and again at age 16 and she gave birth both times to daughters. 

Jaycee was not in the court for the sentencing, but her mother Terry Probyn read a statement from her daughter before the sentencing that said:  “To Phillip Garrido, I hated every second of every day of 18 years because of you. To you Nancy, I have nothing to say.”

Probyn also addressed the court, tearfully asking: “How could someone take away the one person in the world I loved so deeply?  Where is she? Is she hungry? Is she cold? Is she hurt? My baby was gone and all my dreams turned to nightmares. She was a vulnerable child and I was unable to help her.

“During 18 years away, I could hear her crying, not with my ears, but with my heart. I could feel her pain, not with my body, but with my heart…I lived in hell on earth. It was you Nancy Garrido and Phillip Garrido that broke my heart.”
