At age 14 in 2002 Elizibeth smarth was tooken from her home at knife point in june 2002. She was tooken to some woods not far from her home and had a marrige ceramony and was repeatedly raped by Brian Mitchell her abducter. Smart says that he often sang about what he was going to do to her. She said that he would come up the mountain side singing " i am going to [expletive] your eyes out." She also said that he would threaten to kill her if she tired to escape.
She was given drugs and alcohol and shown pornography. She even said that one time she vomited because he gave her to much to drink and he let her lay face-down in her vomit until the next day when she woke up. He used religion to justify most of his actions and said he was God's servant, a prophet. She was captured for nine months and during those nine months she waskept in Utah until the winter came and then he took her to San Diego, California
She does not know when she came back to Utah but she said she convinced him that they should hitch-hike back to Utah. She said she convinced him becasue she wanted to get back to a place where she could get reconized and rescued. When she came back Utah she was tied up with a cable to a tree. The cable was strung between two trees and the lock was in the middle of the two trees. He kept the key around his neck at all times.She said that she was raped daily, three or four times a day. She did try to resist one time even biting him to keep him away. She was found in march 2003 while walking down a street with Mitchell and his wife. This was all said during her testamony agains him on thrusday. Smart was not affried to face him she actually wanted him to see her but he disrupted by singing so they sent him to a room where he could listen and watch it on a tv.My personal view on this guy is that he is sick and needs to be sent to jail. This girl is very brave and I am sure she is really damaged. I would hate to be put in a situation like that and can't imagine what she went through.
