A note reportedly found inside Ariel Castro's Cleveland home in 2004 includes a chilling admission: "I am a sexual predator. I need help."

The letter, believed to have been written by Castro in 2004, was obtained by Scott Taylor, an investigative reporter for Cleveland's 19 Action News.

Castro, 52, was charged on Wednesday with four counts of kidnapping and the rape of three women—Amanda Berry, 27, Gina DeJesus, 23, and Michelle Knight, 32—whom he is suspected of holding captive in his home for close to a decade. Berry gave birth to a child, who also is believed to have been held captive in the home. Police say the women were restrained with ropes and chains and were repeatedly raped.

Taylor posted excerpts from the letter on his Twitter feed.

Hey Ariel--next time, why don't you jump right past the note-writing phase and actually seek help?

15. Considering their high rates of recidivism, I like this.

Am I going to have my post blocked for endorsing suicide?

The man is a monster. I hope the worst things happen to him both in and out of prison.

5. And how was it "obtained" by Scott Taylor?

[Blue_Tires]

7. And why the hell haven't police sealed it as evidence?

of course the chain of custody is dead now, so the note is pretty much useless...

4. What do they mean it was found in 2004?

It was actually found in 2004? Who found it? And they didn't report it?

6. I apologize. It's Yahoo News and the bad writing is par for the course. I thought it was confusing

but didn't find another source yet.

8. Sorry, that wasn't directed to you

I bet this is either very poorly written or some major details are missing.

9. I figured it wasn't but I felt the need to clarify since yahoo "News" is pretty crappy in general.

10. The media and people really need to leave the women alone

It's going to take a huge amount of therapy to recover enough from this to lead any sort of normal life.
