The three women held captive in an Ohio home for a decade finally broke their silence.
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight have legitimately been through hell and back within the last 10 years. The three women who disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004 at ages 14, 16 and 20 were allegedly held captive in the home of Ariel Castro, a 52-year-old bus driver, up until May 6th, when Berry broke free with neighbors’ assistance. Castro has pled not guilty to a 329-count indictment including charges for rape and abduction.
Throughout the course of the past decade, Castro allegedly raped Berry and now has a six year-old daughter with her. He also reportedly raped Knight who too was impregnated, but as a result of Castro’s physical assault on the young woman, she miscarried.
Berry, DeJesus and Knight recorded a “thank you” video to those who have donated to their recovery, and for having been given their privacy since they escaped from the heartwrenching situation.
The video was released on YouTube last night at midnight.
The ladies appear to have undergone some chic make overs, and seem to be in good spirits two months after their liberation.
Watch the ladies express their words of appreciation after the jump.
