Ariel Castro may have beaten Michelle Knight worst in Cleveland hell
house
The first victim in the Ohio house of horrors was allegedly the
captors' main 'punching bag.'
By Michael Walsh / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Thursday, May 16, 2013
Inside Ariel Castro's Cleveland hell house, three young women
allegedly suffered over a decade of abuse — but his first captive, in
particular, may have borne the brunt of that beast's brutality.
Michelle Knight's family friend told CNN that she was Castro's main
"punching bag," having been beaten so severely with hand weights and
other objects that she suffered vision and hearing loss, as well as
muscle and joint damage.
Back in August 2002, Castro abducted Knight, 21, but she was removed
from the FBI's missing persons database after 15 months and slowly
forgotten; whereas, awareness campaigns sprung up for the other
victims, Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry.
Castro allegedly raped the women repeatedly and impregnated Knight at
least five times. But each time, he starved her for at least two weeks
before punching her stomach until she miscarried, the police report
read....
Knight appears to have gone into seclusion, even from some family
members, her grandmother said.

New details emerge about Michelle Knight — oldest of the woman freed
from Cleveland hell house
Michelle Knight disappeared Aug. 23, 2002.

hearing loss and damage to some of the bones in her face — but her

Word that Michelle Knight had escaped from the Cleveland house of
horrors came as a double shock Wednesday to her twin brother Freddie.
“I was freaking happy as hell because I didn’t know my sister was
kidnapped,” he told CNN. “My mother never tells me anything.”
Freddie Knight said his mom, Barbara, kicked him out of the house when
he was 14 and he was estranged from the rest of the family. But the
years melted away when he saw his sister at the hospital....
Knight, who is believed to be 32, was reportedly beaten repeatedly by
her captors and suffered hearing loss and damage to some of the bones
in her face....
Police have already conceded that they paid more attention to the
disappearances of the younger women Knight had been imprisoned with —
Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry.
Knight reportedly had a troubled childhood and dropped out of high
school at 17 after she was bullied by classmates....

Behind the forgotten abductee Michele Knight

Knight was never officially classed as a missing person
Abducted women found alive in Cleveland home
HORRIFIC details are emerging about Cleveland abductee Michele
Knight's difficult past, including an alleged gang-rape before her
decade-long kidnapping.
Knight is also reported to have given police crucial evidence
indicating there may have been more victims, telling authorities she
was unsure how many women were detained inside the house.
It's alleged she suffered up to five miscarriages while imprisoned and
lived in darkness for long stretches of time....
19 Action News reports she is being treated at Metro Health Medical
Centre for anxiety, and reports she may undergo reconstructive surgery
to "heal injuries suffered at the hands of her attacker during her
decade in captivity".
"When she was severely beaten, he had beat her so bad in the face, she
has to have facial reconstruction, and she's lost hearing in one ear,"
her grandmother, Deborah Knight said.
But it is unclear whether those injuries were sustained during her
imprisonment or whether it was due to a gang-rape which allegedly
occurred in junior high school, one year before her August 2002
disappearance.
Knight's grandmother claims three of her classmates "grabbed her by
the arm and raped her at school".
Knight bore a child after the ordeal, a boy named Joey. She later lost
custody of the child who was placed in foster care, reports the Daily
News....
