Aggravated murder will likely be added to the growing list of charges being pressed against Ariel Castro, the 52-year-old man accused of raping and kidnapping three young women. During the ten years his victims were held captive in his Cleveland home, Castro allegedly fathered one daughter and several unborn children with the women.

Victim Michele Knight attributes at least five miscarriages to the brutal beating she received from Castro. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor, Timothy McGinty, announced Thursday that additional charges of aggravated murder will likely be pressed in relation to these allegations. A death penalty sentence for the murder of an unborn child is unprecedented.

As of now, Castro has been charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape.
