Ariel Castro was a Puerto Rican-American individual who kidnapped three women and held them captive in his home in Cleveland, Ohio, from 2002 to 2013. The women were subjected to physical and psychological abuse during their captivity. Castro was arrested in 2013 after one of the women managed to escape and alert authorities. His actions led to a high-profile investigation and trial, resulting in a guilty plea to multiple charges of kidnapping and rape. In 2013, he was sentenced to 1,000 years in prison without the possibility of parole. Castro's crimes garnered significant media attention and sparked discussions on issues of domestic abuse and human trafficking.
