Three women held against their will for a decade locked in Cleveland, Ohio, have posted a video on YouTube to offer thanks for the support they have received as they try to rebuild their lives.

One of the men accused of holding three women captive in a suburban Cleveland home has been charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape.

The three women held captive for about a decade at a run-down US house were apparently bound with ropes and chains, police said today, while charges were expected by the end of the day against the three brothers under arrest.
