Elizabeth Smart, who drew the nation's attention when she was abducted from her home at age 14, said that her captor's pornography use made her captivity much worse.
"Looking at pornography wasn't enough for him. Having sex with his wife, after looking at pornography, it wasn't enough for him," Smart said in a recent interview. "And then it led him to finally going out and kidnapping me. He just always wanted more."
In 2002, Smart was abducted at knifepoint from her bedroom when a man broke into a window in her family's home in Salt Lake City.
She was taken to a makeshift campsite just a few miles away, where her captor, Brian David Mitchell, and his wife held her for nine months, until she was discovered and rescued.
