The sentencing hearing for Ariel Castro, the Cleveland man responsible for the kidnapping and rape of three women for more than a decade, began Thursday with the former school bus driver apologizing to his victims. Heavily shackled and wearing his orange jail jumpsuit, Ariel Castro was led into the courtroom at 9:23 a.m. He's expected to give a statement explaining his life, which he said previously had been impacted by being sexually abused as a child and a long-time addiction to pornography. "I want to apologize to the victims,'' Castro said at the outset. The brief statement came before a series of Cleveland police and FBI agents detailed some of the grisly details behind Castro's years of sexual, emotional and physical torture, including binding his victims with chains, repeated beatings and putting a gun to their heads/USA Today.
