PERVERT: First pictures of the chains and poles kidnapper used to enslave his victims as he is sentenced to life plus 1000 years for 10 years of torture and rap

Ariel Castro was today sentenced to 1,000 years in prison for holding three Cleveland women hostage as pictures emerged of the House of Horrors where he repeatedly sexually, physically and emotionally abused them over the course of a decade.Castro, who pleaded guilty to 937 counts including kidnapping, rape and murder, appeared in Cuyahoga County for the approximately four-and-a-half hour hearing.Standing in an orange jumpsuit, Castro shocked the packed courtroom by stating there was 'a lot of harmony' in the house where he trapped and abused Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. The 53-year-old blamed his behavior on the violence he suffered as a child and his addiction to porn.Speaking to the court about the abuse suffered by the girls, a doctor said: 'These women have life sentences, they will never be free of damage done'.

Castro said: 'As God as my witness I never beat these women, I never tortured them. These women were not virgins when I met them, all three of them'

Victims: Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight, and Gina de Jesus

Detective Harasimchuk also told the court all three girls were vaginally, orally and anally raped throughout their time in captivity.He said all three women were abducted after Castro offered them a ride and that each was chained in his basement and sexually assaulted within a few hours of being kidnapped. Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said in a sentencing memorandum filed on Wednesday that Castro, who chained his captives and fed them only one meal a day, 'admits his disgusting and inhuman conduct' but 'remains remorseless for his actions'.

The memorandum says many of the specific charges in Castro's indictment reflect conduct documented by one of the women in her diary.'The entries speak of forced sexual conduct, of being locked in a dark room, of anticipating the next session of abuse, of the dreams of someday escaping and being reunited with family, of being chained to a wall, of being held like a prisoner of war ... of being treated like an animal,' it says.
