Cleveland Kidnapper To Plead Not Guilty
Facing kidnapping and rape charges
The US man accused of imprisoning three women for about a decade in his house in Ohio will plead not guilty to all charges, his lawyers say.
Ariel Castro, aged 52, is charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape.
The women were abducted at different times and held in Mr Castro's house in Cleveland. One of them escaped earlier this month and raised the alarm.
