A former Ohio school bus driver, who had kidnapped three women and subjected them to years of sexual and physical harassment, has been sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years.
CBS News reports that one of the victims, Michelle Knight, who got released after a decade, hoped that he will face hell for eternity.
The convicted rapist, Ariel Castro explained in court that he is sick and addicted to porn.
According to the report, Castro had offered a ride to all three women. He later abducted them, chained them in his basement and sexually assaulted them for nearly over a decade.
Castro repeatedly starved and beat one of the victims each time she was pregnant, forcing her to miscarry five times.
He has a 6-year-old daughter from the same woman.
