One of the three women kidnapped and held captive in a Cleveland “House of Horrors” -- where she was raped daily for more than a decade -- revealed in an episode of “Dr. Phil” she is happily married years after her harrowing escape.

Michelle Knight, 36, who now goes by the name Lily Rose, announced the news in an episode set to air April 24, TMZ reported Monday.

“I got really good news for you…Dr. Phil, I’m married!” Knight said as the audience cheered.

Knight said she's been married since May 2015, two years after she was rescued from her captor, Ariel Castro. Her husband's name is Miguel, according to TMZ.

Knight and two other women — Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus — were chained and tortured by Castro in a Cleveland home he turned into a torture chamber. Knight was kidnapped in 2002, the first of the three women to be taken.

FTA: "He was sentenced to life in prison, but committed suicide in 2013 inside his prison cell – after serving only one month of his sentence."

If only more SOBs like this would self execute it would seriously cut prison costs.

IMHO, when someone is convicted and sent to prison for a heinous crime, putting him on "suicide watch" should consist of giving him a rope and watching him do it.

Good for her.

I was just thinking of those ladies this morning. Horrible. Too bad the sicko didn’t suicide himself years before.

This makes us as low as the fiend. If we can’t bring ourselves to legislate a death penalty that our judges will, too, then might as well send the evangelists into the prisons. For the Islamists will gladly go.

I wish her the best, but she’s making a mistake bringing all this horror back for a new round of public discussion. Of course, some people get accustomed to the attention and incorporate that as part of their coping methods. To keep dwelling on that time of captivity is not going to help her move on.
The other two women who were kidnapped with her stay out of the news. Who can blame them. Can you imaging the personal, morbid questions the general public feels free to ask them?

Elizabeth Smart also went through a similar period after she was rescued from her kidnapper back in 2002.

Well, after all, it is a personal decision.

Nobody should be able to tell them what to do with their own bodies.

Provide the rope. To heck with watching.

And she does look very content and happy in that photo. She must be blessed with a great husband.

I have a friend who met a young lady and asked her out. She figured he’d drop her when he found out she had a kid. Instead, he invited the kid to join them on their first date.

The kid is now a US Marine and they’ve been married for 25 years of so, with a whole slew of other kids.

"...and two counts of aggravated murder for the termination of another's pregnancy."

Interesting that Ohio apparently considers at least a few babies to be persons worth defending or vindicating.

Now for the rest of the aggravated murderers, a.k.a. Planned Parenthood and their allies.

I understand, but cannot condone.

What I condone is an authentic speedy trial and capital punishment.
