Castro May Be Charged With Murder Cleveland kidnapping suspect Ariel Castro appeared in court briefly on Thursday and was arraigned on kidnapping and rape charges. Prosecutors said they may charge Castro with aggravated murder for the multiple times he allegedly impregnated his victims and forced them to suffer miscarriages. His bond is set at $8 million ($2 million for each case). One of the three women held captive told police that Castro impregnated her five times but always forced her to "abort the baby." According to early police reports, Michelle Knight said Castro starved her for at least two weeks and then repeatedly punched her in the stomach until she miscarried. Castro allegedly treated his other captives' pregnancies differently, ordering Knight to deliver Amanda Berry's child. He reportedly threatened to kill Knight if the baby didn't survive.

"It seems to me that West Yorkshire Police over the years failed to join up the dots," said lawyer Alan Collins, who represents just 40 of the close to 500 that have come forward with sex abuse claims against the entertainer since his death in 2011. "There seems to be a collective myopia," Collins said. "Savile was able to run rings around the police for decades. He used police officers. He was ingrained with them, dovetailed with them."
