In May 2013, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight escaped the horrors of a West Cleveland home. The three women were kidnapped by Ariel Castro, a retired bus driver.
He held them captive for nearly 10 years and used them as his sexual fetishes. He would rape and physically abuse the young girls. He would bore a child with Amanda.
The day that Castro dropped his guard, Amanda broke out and warned the neighbors about him.
He was arrested and sentenced to LIFE in the iron college. A few months into his time he hung himself. This tragedy affected these three women. Now as they try to adjust to life, Lifetime is spotlighting this case in a movie.
The Lifetime Movie Network released the trailer for the TV movie Cleveland Abduction.
