CLEVELAND — An Ohio man convicted of imprisoning three women in his house and raping them repeatedly for a decade blamed his actions on a sex addiction and said he was "not a monster" as he was sentenced Thursday to life without parole plus 1,000 years.
Ariel Castro, 53, apologized to his victims before he was sentenced. He blamed a sex addiction, his former wife and even the FBI for not thoroughly investigating the abductions while claiming most of the sex was consensual and that the women were never tortured.
