TRIGGER WARNING!
Rape, Abuse
In Cleveland, Ohio, Michelle Knight a 21-year-old single mother had lost custody of her son. On August 23, 2002, Knight was on her way to the court when she accepted a ride from her acquaintance Ariel Castro , who was the father of a schoolmate. However, Castro abducted Knight and held her captive in his home. Finding strength through her belief in God and determined to be reunited with her son, Knight refused to be broken down by Castro. Soon thereafter Castro kidnaps and rapes two more girls, Amanda Berry and Georgina "Gina" DeJesus. These girls too become imprisoned along with Knight. They become friends and fellow victims; treat each other as sisters through their years in captivity.
