Cleveland prosecutors have charged Ariel Castro with kidnapping three women and holding them captive for the past decade. Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight were freed on Monday after Berry managed to alert a neighbor. Berry’s six-year-old daughter, who was born in captivity, was also rescued. Authorities had also detained two of Castro’s brothers but now say they will not face charges.

Victor Perez, Cleveland prosecutor: “I just signed criminal complaints charging Ariel Castro with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. These seven criminal complaints are first-degree felonies.”

Edward Tomba, Cleveland police deputy chief: “There is nothing that leads us to believe that [the brothers] were involved or they had any knowledge of this. And that comes from statements of our victims and their statements and their brother’s statements. So as far as what their relationship was, Ariel kept everybody at a distance.”

Investigators say the three women were at times bound in chains or rope, and endured brutal physical and sexual abuse. Knight has reportedly told police that Castro forced her to miscarry five times through beatings and starvation. Castro is due to appear in court today.
