State honours Ohio kidnap ordeal women

Three women who survived a decade of captivity in an Ohio house before being freed have received bravery awards.

Ohio governor John Kasich called the women’s story one of hurt beyond imagination, but also one that did not end there.

“It is also a story of three women who found an inner strength and a courage that brought them through and sustained them,” he said near the end of his annual state of the state speech.
