American Pedophile Slips Through Cracks
By DAN HARRIS (@danbharris)
ABC Nightline (USA)
Jaycee Dugard's horrific story of survival includes the failure of three separate governmental entities to properly supervise Phillip Garrido, the registered sex offender who repeatedly raped Dugard while he held her captive for 18 years.
The United States Parole Commission, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the local Contra Costa Sheriff's office all allegedly missed opportunities to stop Garrido's unspeakable abuse.
But of the more than 700,000 sex offenders in America right now supposedly under supervision, 100,000 are unaccounted for, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Another case that provides a blow-by-blow example of how easy it is for a convicted child sex offender to simply slip through the cracks, especially overseas, is the Michael Dodd case.
The FBI arrested Dodd in February 2010 and returned him to the United States from Cambodia, where he was serving time after being convicted of having sexual relations with a teenager, to stand trial. At the time, Dodd was facing a possible 30 more years in prison if convicted on new charges of traveling abroad to have sex with a minor.
"Nightline" tracked Dodd, 62, from the suburbs of Orlando, Fla., and upstate New York, to Cambodia last year before he was arrested.
We found him in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, where he was accused of attempting to arrange a marriage to a 14-year-old girl. At the time, Dodd was still on parole for abusing children in America, but got lost in the system.

KI. I am not sure why you are showing the victim face on your blog ?? It should be wise to blur the face rather then showing her face to the public. After all she is an innocence and the victim of a mad man.
Yes! you right comment 1. I hope next time KI team not post any victime face again.
According to my opinion I think we should thanks to FBI. If we don't have any FBI came to cambodia, the police of Cambodia don't do not thing with that case.
yes, good point, in america's media, when they show the photo of a minor that is a victim, the minor's face is blurred off to protect her status and identity, etc... ki media need to go back to school to learn from america about the ethics of photo journalism, etc, really! it shows ki media too is not perfect, they need to go back to the school of journalism, really! where is your ethics, silly!
Did you all watch the video? neither did ABC blurred off her face. Don't just blame KI.
ABC didn't blur this little innocent girl's face because she is a Cambodian in third world country (not USA). If she were an American or from any Western countries, they would have blurred her face. KI shouldn't have to follow that - this Cambodian girl is like your own sister or daughter, show some understanding.
In Elisabeth Smart's case, in the United States, the media did not blurred off her face.
Who;s help him find a kids to mess with if as not Khmer. This shit need to stop. Police and government is too weak...they are all worry about money in theirs bank not the country.
inconsistancy is the word!
Youn are to blame for Khmer prostitution because Ah Hun Sen is allowing Youn to poison Khmer people. Ah Hun Sen allows Youn to run prostitute in Cambodia. Ah Hun Sen allows Youn citizen to live freely and has more rights than Khmer people.
Ah Hun Sen is the pimp of Youn prostitutes. He is a part of the evil.
Arrest him as well.
