Ariel Castro jailed for 1000 years and Blames Victims: ‘I Am Not A Monster, I’m Just Sick’

Ohio kidnapper Ariel Castro said he is "not a monster" after one of his victims confronted him during his sentencing hearing to describe her "11 years in hell". Castro said he knows what he did was wrong, but that he is not a violent person and that his captives asked for sex and were not tortured.

"These people are trying to paint me as a monster. I'm not a monster. I'm sick," he said during his sentencing hearing on Thursday.

Castro also claimed the women lived a happy life with him.

"We had a lot of harmony that went on in that home," he said.

The former school bus driver, who pleaded guilty to 937 charges, including kidnapping, rape, assault and aggravated murder, was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole plus 1,000 years.

I Paid N2.7m for Triplets, Says Victim of Baby Factory

The Police recently unearthed a baby delivery syndicate and a key suspect arrested and paraded in Lagos, alongside two other women who were believed to have paid certain sums of money respectively, to be delivered of babies.

Forty three years old Joy Ibe who lives at Ajah area of Lagos, said she has been married for 18 years without any issues, a dilemma that prompted her to run up and down seeking for fruit of the womb, until she came in contact with a Port Harcourt based 50- year old woman identified as Oby George, who was noted for helping women deliver babies after paying an agreed amount of money to her.

Joy told news men how she met Oby, and what followed after that:  “one of my neighbours visited Nigeria and heard about Oby, after she travelled back to the Unites States, she text me Oby’s number and asked me to contact her if I am interested.

I called up Oby and told her my problems, she gave me her address to come and meet her in Port Harcourt. When I got to Port Harcourt and met with her, she gave me some herbs, which I took until, it was time for me to deliver.  I paid her N2, 700.000 for triplets.
