The three women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004,when they were 14,16 and 20 years old. They escaped on May 6,when one of the women broke part of a door and yelled to neighbours for help. Castro was arrested that evening.
Castro was sentenced on August 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years on his guilty plea to 937 counts including kidnapping and rape.
