SAN FRANCISCO -- The man accused of abducting and sexually abusing Jaycee Lee Dugard testified during a previous kidnapping and rape case that he prowled through residential neighborhoods as a Peeping Tom and fantasized about raping women.
During his 1977 kidnapping trial, Phillip Garrido also said he leered at girls as young as seven and 10, and he admitted to exposing himself to some of them.
He testified that LSD and cocaine acted as sexual stimulants, and that he frequently masturbated and often in public places including the "side of schools, grammar schools and high schools, in my own car while I was watching young females."
The portrait of the 58-year-old Garrido comes from trial transcripts and a psychiatric report from unrelated case files made public Monday, as well as TV interviews broadcast Tuesday. In that case, Garrido was convicted in Reno, Nev., of kidnapping a stranger. He later admitted to raping her in a rented storage unit described by investigators as a "sex palace" with items for playing out his sexual fantasies.
Garrido and his wife Nancy are being held in El Dorado County on charges that they kidnapped and raped Dugard, then held her captive at their Antioch home for the past 18 years even as parole officers and police occassionally turned up at his house.
Other women have reported violent attacks in the past. Garrido's ex-wife and high school sweetheart, Christine Murphy, said he went into a jealous rage once when he saw a man flirting with her.
"He took a safety pin and went after my eyes," Christine Murphy told "Inside Edition." "He left a scar on my face."
In the kidnapping trial from more than three decades ago, Garrido admitted to abducting and raping the woman he was accused of kidnapping, saying: "I have had this fantasy, and this sexual thing that has overcome me."

He testified that he did not think what he did was wrong.
"I had this fantasy that was driving me to do this, inside of me; something that was making me want to do it without - no way to stop it," he said.
The victim testified that Garrido also discussed his sexual fantasies while driving her to the storage area, where he assaulted her for more than five hours until a police officer knocked on the unit's door after becoming suspicious of the victim's car parked nearby.
She said she was taking dinner to her boyfriend's house when Garrido tapped on her window as she was pulling out of a food market and told her his car broke down. He asked for a ride and attacked her shortly afterward, handcuffing and binding her before driving her to his Reno storage unit.
