Rape and kidnapping charges in Cleveland

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.

Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight were rescued on Monday after being held for about a decade. Authorities said they had been bound in chains. Also released was a 6-year-old girl, Ms Berry’s daughter.

Last night Ariel Castro, 52, the owner of the house, was charged. His brothers, Onil and Pedro, who were arrested after the women were rescued, will not face charges at this time, according to prosecutors.
