Ariel Castro has been charged after the release of Amanda Berry, Georgina DeJesus and Michele Knight, who had been abducted and kept against their will for 10 years in an Ohio house.

Prosecutor Victor Perez tells the Guardian that Castro will be arraigned on Thursday. He is now facing three counts of rape and four counts of kidnapping, counting that of Jocelyn, his daughter with Berry.

As I told you, Berry's child was delivered in a baby pool, as the girls were never allowed to see doctors. Jocelyn stopped breathing after being born and was nursed back by Knight, under death threats.

Michele Knight was impregnated on at least five occasions, and she was forced to miscarry. Castro would punch her in the stomach and starve her for weeks on end in order to prompt her abortions.
