Dugard has filed a lawsuit over the failure of federal parole officers to monitor her captor, Phillip Garrido, who had previous federal convictions dating to 1977 for kidnapping and forcible rape, Reuters reports.
Dugard's attorney said that from December 1988 to March 1999 federal parole agents "failed on numerous occasions to properly monitor" Garrido.
