In a chilling letter allegedly written by Ariel Castro, the Cleveland kidnapping suspect admits to his crimes but blames his three female victims for getting into the car with him in the first place.<\/p>\n

Details of the letter\u2013which was reportedly a suicide note written in 2004\u2013were tweeted late Wednesday night by Scott Taylor, a reporter for Cleveland TV station WOIO. According to Taylor<\/a>, Castro wrote: \u201cI am a sexual predator. I need help.\u201d In a separate tweet, Taylor says<\/a> that Castro wrote, \u201cThey are here against their will because they made a mistake of getting in a car with a total stranger.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reporter continued to tweet snippets of the letter, including one<\/a> in which Castro is alleged to have written that he wanted to kill himself and give all of his money to the victims.<\/p>\n

According to CBS News, Castro claimed in the letter that he was abused by his parents growing up and that he was raped by his uncle.<\/p>\n

The three women\u2013Amanda Berry, 27, Gina DeJesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32\u2013escaped from Castro\u2019s house Monday after being held captive and in horrific conditions there for about a decade. According to the police report, the women were subjected to rape, brutal beatings, forced abortions and death threats, and were held in chains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Knight has told investigators Castro forced her to deliver a baby born to one of the other women, and he warned her if the baby were to die, he would kill her.<\/p>\n

Knight told police, according to the report, that Castro impregnated her \u201cat least 5 times,\u201d but that each time he would starve her and then punch her in the stomach to induce a miscarriage.<\/p>\n

…According to the police report, Knight said Castro threatened to kill her if Berry\u2019s baby died. Knight told police the newborn girl stopped breathing at one point, so she \u201cbreathed for her,\u201d giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to keep her alive.<\/p>\n
