Elizabeth Smart To Publicly Address Kidnapper,Elizabeth Smart kidnapper set for sentencing: Elizabeth Smart will publicly speak to Brian David Mitchell -- the man who kidnapped, raped and imprisoned her -- during his sentencing in a Salt Lake City courtroom on Wednesday.
Mitchell, 57, kidnapped the then-14-year-old Smart on June 5, 2002 from her Salt Lake City home at knife point in the middle of the night, and eventually took her to San Diego. Smart was rescued nine months after her kidnapping, when she was spotted in Sandy, Utah.
Smart told local media in Utah she's unsure what she will say to Mitchell; her father Ed is also slated to speak to the child rapist.
Mitchell, a street preacher, was convicted by a federal jury last December on charges of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines for the purpose of having illegal sex.
