( CNN ) -- A man accused of kidnapping and holding captive three young women in his Cleveland house for 10 years will be arraigned this week on 329 counts . Ariel Castro , 52 , was indicted Friday in a case that shocked neighbors who never suspected anything out of the ordinary was going on in the house -- and prompted Castro 's daughter to call him `` the most evil , vile , demonic criminal . '' One charge accuses Castro of aggravated murder for purposely causing the unlawful termination of a pregnancy , authorities said . One of the young women was allegedly impregnated five times by Castro , and another bore a child fathered by him , police have said . The indictment charges Castro with 139 counts of rape , 177 counts of kidnapping , seven counts of gross sexual imposition , three counts of felonious assault and one count of possession of criminal tools , Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said in a statement . The charges cover only half of the 10 years the three young were held captive -- from August 2002 , when the first of three women disappeared off a Cleveland street , to February 2007 . The three women were freed last month after one shouted for help while Castro was gone from the house . The prosecutor 's capital review committee will consider whether the case is appropriate for seeking the death penalty once the indictment process is complete , the prosecutor 's statement said . `` Today 's indictments represent a first major step in the criminal justice process , '' McGinty said in a statement . `` Our investigation continues , and we will present our findings to the grand jury . '' 'Please do n't let me go , ' kidnapping victim told officers . The indictment alleges that Castro taped the legs and mouth of one woman identified as Jane Doe 2 and also chained her to a pole in the basement with a motorcycle helmet placed on her head . Castro also allegedly used a vacuum cord around her neck during a felonious assault and chained her to inside of a van , the indictment said . Castro allegedly used chains and tape in the basement to restrain another woman identified as Jane Doe 3 , the indictment said .
