Abducted in Plain Sight’s Jan Broberg wants the documentary to change one part

Abducted in Plain Sight shocked the world

Despite the heinous abuse that Jan Broberg endured at the hands of Robert Berchtold, as seen in the Netflix documentary Abducted In Plain Sight, it's testament to Broberg's strength and courage that she continues to talk about her experiences of being abducted, raped, and abused - both mentally and physically. Broberg has been very forthcoming about her reasons for speaking out about Berchtold's monstrous crimes. In doing so, she hopes to help other people who have experienced similar issues, and the actress has also been very vocal about why she has forgiven her parents too. For those who might be unaware, Abducted in Plain Sight tells the story of Jan Broberg, a girl who was kidnapped not once, but twice in the 1970s by a family friend named Robert Berchtold, who manipulated her and raped her repeatedly. Aside from sexually molesting and brainwashing Jan, Berchtold also seduced both of her parents, Mary Ann and Bob, to manipulate them into giving him access to their young daughter. Both of Jan's parents were also romantically involved with Berchtold and even after he abducted their daughter, they both stayed in contact with him. The director recently answered some of the big questions that viewers still have about the documentary but Broberg has an issue with the authenticity of one scene and how it's portrayed in the documentary. In the documentary, there's a scene where we learn that Robert Berchtold was allowed to sleep in Jan's bed while she slept unknowingly. This was after he convinced Jan's parents that his therapist told him that, by doing so, it would help him overcome his own personal traumas from childhood.

In a recent interview with ET Online, Broberg was asked about this revelation and she explained that this account wasn't exactly accurate.

"That is one part of the documentary that I want to be changed because he did not sleep inside of my bed. He laid on the top of my bed just like mum, dad, or anybody else when I'm 9, 10, or 11, reading a story, tickling backs, you fall asleep.

"I was asleep, he had told my parents: 'I have these tapes I was given by this psychiatrist. I'm supposed to lay by a child who was the same age as I was when I was abused as a kid. And then I lay by the child and I listen to these tapes, and it's supposed to help me overcome the trauma that I went through in my childhood'," she adds.

Abducted in Plain Sight is available to watch on Netflix.
