At his sentencing today an unrepentant Ariel Castro apologized for holding his three victims hostage over a decade but also made the unbelievable claim that most of the sex was consensual.
Saying 'I am not a monster,' Ariel Castro said he’s sick and addicted to pornography, and that he didn’t even plan the first kidnapping.
At his hearing Castro said, 'I'm not a violent person. I simply kept them there so they couldn't leave.' referring to Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, the three women he held captive for about a decade.
He said he knows that he was ‘100 percent wrong.’
Castro said: 'As God as my witness I never beat these women, I never tortured them. These women were not virgins when I met them, all three of them'
He spoke during his sentencing hearing Thursday where a judge could order him to serve life in prison plus 1,000 years.
The 53-year-old Castro pleaded guilty last week to 937 counts including two charges of aggravated murder related to one act of forcing one of his victims to miscarry.
Earlier in his sentencing hearing, one of the Castro’s victims said that she cried every night and that her years in captivity ‘turned into eternity.’
