SACRAMENTO, Calif. --
Phillip Garrido, the convicted rapist accused of kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard more than two decades ago, alleges her civil rights have been violated and asked KCRA 3's Walt Gray to contact Dugard at the "earliest possible date."

Garrido remains in custody at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville as he and wife Nancy Garrido await trial on multiple charges each. They've pleaded not guilty.

In a jailhouse letter sent to Gray, Garrido claimed Dugard's "free speach rights are being violated."

He also alleged Dugard was "repeatedly denied access to have an attorney present during questioning. Over & over she clearly expressed this request from the beginning to the conclusion of questioning."

"Please concider this request to contact her at your earliest possible date," Garrido wrote.

Gray went inside the jail Wednesday to see if Garrido would explain the contents of his letter. Garrido told jail staff to tell Gray he would not meet unless his attorney was present.
