Workers demolish the house where three women were held captive and raped for more than a decade, Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013, in Cleveland. Authorities want to make sure the rubble isn't sold online as "murderabilia," though no one died there. The house was torn down as part of a deal that spared Ariel Castro a possible death sentence. He was sentenced last week to life in prison plus 1,000 years. Castro apologized but blamed his addiction to pornography. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak) MORE LESS

Workers demolished the Cleveland house of Ariel Castro on Wednesday, the residence where he tortured and kept three women captive for more than a decade.

Castro was spared a possible death sentence but sentenced to life plus 1,000 years in prison. Authorities did not want anything in the house to be sold online as “memorabilia.”
