14:00Now PlayingAriel Castro was arraigned in a Cleveland court today on charges of kidnapping three young women and holding them captive in his house for 10 years. All three women Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight had vanished in seemingly separate cases when they were between the ages of 14 and 21. Berry's sixyearold daughter, who was born in captivity, was also rescued. Officials said the three women were at times bound in chains or rope and endured starvation, beatings and sexual assaults. Eric Sandy, a reporter at the weekly newspaper Cleveland Scene, joins us to discuss Castro's background, including the brutal abuse of his exwife for which he was never jailed.
