"NEW YORK (AP) — A Cleveland television station that posted an online story about the criminal past of a man who helped free three captive women this week took it down after being flooded with complaints.
WEWS-TV removed the story about Charles Ramsey only a few hours after it was posted on its website Wednesday night. The ABC affiliate never aired the story for broadcast.
Ramsey kicked down the door of Ariel Castro's house on Monday, helping one of the three women kept captive in the house to escape.
Station news director Jill Manuel said Friday that while the story was factually correct, it was too soon to disseminate in Cleveland."

"Citing court documents, the Smoking Gun reports that Ramsey was charged with domestic violence in 1997 and pleaded no contest. In 1998, while Ramsey was awaiting sentencing, police arrested him again for domestic violence, the outlet notes. Ramsey had failed to appear in court for a hearing tied to the first case -- an action that led to prison time. Ramsey served six months in prison, only to get arrested again in 2003 for domestic violence. He was then indicted on felony charges for "domestic violence with prior conviction," according to the Smoking Gun." |
