Fifty-two year old Ariel Castro is now facing the death penalty for holding three women, against their will, for a decade.
He is charged with kidnapping them more than ten years ago, until they escaped on Monday.
Castro will face rape charges, one for each of the women, and four kidnapping charges, as one of the women gave birth to a girl who is now six.
Authorities are also seeking five counts of aggravated murder, against him.
According to Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty, Castro impregnated one of the women and beat her into miscarriages five different times.
Each of the murder charges could bring the death penalty with them.
On Friday, Castro was in court and notified that his bail had been set at eight million dollars.
