Ohio kidnappings : Ariel Castro sentenced to life in prison A Federal judge in Ohio sentenced Ariel Castro, the kidnapper and rappist of three young women, to a lifetime in prison, without parole. Althought he was not to risk the death penalty, his sentence was predictable, says Phillip Crowther. The journalist emphasizes the reactions of both parties implicated : first of, the reaction of Michelle Knight, who Castro abducted, condemning him to "hell". More disturbing, the defense of Ariel Castro, justifying himself by alleging an "addiction to porn".
