Abducted In Plain Sight victim Jan Broberg says that one part of the shocking Netflix documentary was actually incorrect.

The recently-released documentary retold the story of Jan who was abducted twice as a child by a family friend, Robert 'B' Berchtold, who groomed both the 12-year-old girl and her parents.

One part in particular really outraged viewers when they learned that 'B' had supposedly been allowed to sleep in the same bed as Jan as part of his 'treatment' for a traumatic incident he experienced as a child.

This detail angered viewers and prompted many to heavily criticise Jan's parents for allowing him to 'sleep' in her bed.

But Jan has now revealed that he never slept in her bed, just laid on top of it as she was falling asleep - something she insists felt totally normal as a child.

"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," recalled Jan to Entertainment Tonight.

She continued: "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'."

Both parents - Bob and Mary Ann - had sexual experiences with Berchtold, and were constantly criticised by viewers throughout Abducted In Plain Sight.

But Jan also defended her parents for their actions, explaining that they also "were groomed and manipulated for two and a half years".
