today. ariel scastro has accept add pla deal that will save his life. here he was this morning. the cleveland man admitted today to kidnapping those three women, raping them repeatedly and holding them hostage in his home for a decade. and for the very first time, castro talked publicly about, and i'm quoting him, his sexual problem. >> my addiction to pornography and my sexual problem has really taken a toll on my mind. i knew i was going to get pretty much the book thrown at me. there is some things that i have to -- i don't comprehend because of my sexual problem throughout my home years. >> okay. lawyers say this plea deal, which calls for him to be sentenced to life plus 1,000 years, is exactly what his victims wanted. amanda berry, michelle knight and gina dejesus probably would have had to face castro in

court, testify against him if that case had gone to trial. so we've now gotten this statement, a law firm representing castro's victim released this. let me read it to you in part. amanda, gina and michelle are relieved by today's plea. they are satisfied by this resolution to the case. they continue their desire -- the desire of privacy. the home where the women were in prison for some ten years will be torn down. i want to bring in lydia esparra in cleveland. she is a close friend of gina dejesus's family. an anchor in cleveland at woio. you have spent time with gina and her family. the news of this plea deal, the news she will not have to spend a second in court with this man, how are they feeling? >> i haven't talked to them probably since she's been released because they have that attorney. they've been working through the

attorney. prior to that her mom was saying that she forgave him. but they understand that they were going to wait for the judicial system to take its place and do what it had to do. i can tell you they are probably very happy about this. because no one wanted to relive the horror that went on in that home for the past decade. >> let me go back to something you just said. they have already forgiven this man? >> she had said it in a news conference. her mom said that, you know, they're very christian people. they already forgave him. they forgave him for what had gone on. but that doesn't mean they didn't want him punished. initially when i talked to nancy ruiz, gina's mother, she said it at a news conference. >> now we know he'll be getting life plus 1,000 years. had this possibly gone to trial he could have been put to death. did they ever intimate that that

was something they wanted to happen to him? >> no. they -- they really didn't. y just that he should be punished. i can tell you, too, in working with tim maginty. i've known him for the last -- >> the prosecutor. >> the prosecutor. right. he's the prosecutor. c cuyahoga county prosecutor. he served on the bench for 18 years. i don't believe for a second that he wanted this to go to trial. i think he did want to spare the girls. he wanted to spare the community. and certainly the families. >> i want to get to the community in just a minute. but i have to ask, just journ journalis journalists, you've covered this story for years in cleveland. stop wherever we were and watch the man speak in court. let me play a little bit more of ariel castro. >> how do you plead to the sexually violent predator specification to that count? >> i don't care for the wording, but i will plead guilty to that. >> was there any advice given to

you by your attorneys that you don't understand? any questions you have for me at this point? >> not right now. i pretty much understand everything. i put my trust in them because i know they're good lawyers. there is some things that i have to -- i don't comprehend because of my sexual problem throughout my whole years. but pretty much, yes, i understand what they have been telling me. >> you watched him this morning. what was your visceral reaction? >> first of all, brooke, when i first saw him, he was talking. he was very chatty. in the past, he hasn't. he had his head down. today he had his glasses. he seemed more open about the situation. i was is surprised that he admitted that he wanted to work with the fbi. so all along he's been wanting to work with authorities. almost admitting his guilt. what i thought was interesting, i believe i talked to you about this earlier, brooke.

that he says, oh, i don't think i'm a violent sexual predator. well, that really confused me. because how the heck did you get those girls in your house to begin with? >> mm-hmm. >> so violence had to get them in there. so he's denying that he's not a violent sexual predator. i thought that was interesting. but his whole demeanor has seemed to change over the whole process. and then he even said today that he was on some medication and that made him sleepy. and maybe that's why he was so tired. but i don't know. it was more like he was more accepting of what was going on. and he was resigned to the fact that this was going to be his fate, which is 1,000 years. >> quickly, cleveland, this community, the neighborhood. the house is going away. how is everyone feeling? >> oh, my gosh. you can only imagine, brooke. they're going to be elated. the last time we were in the community the neighbors were saying it's such an eyesore. you still have people coming back and forth looking at the house of horrors.

the people who live there want to go on. they want to live their normal lives. really they're getting tired of people asking them how did you not see what was going on? there's a lot of people that didn't see it. he hid everything. if you saw the neighborhood, there's a lot of abandoned properties. to the side. behind the home. so certainly it would lend itself that people didn't know. but they want their lives back. certainly they want these women, who are now women, some of them were kidnapped when they were girls, they want them to be able to go on with their lives and just move forward and forget about what happened in that home for the last past decade. even though you know that's going to be very hard. and that's not going to happen. but certainly you can move forward. >> incredible just walking around cleveland and seeing the missing posters from years ago still posted on the same telephone poles. wow. incredible for the family and for these young women. lydia espar ra, thank you so much. great seeing you and talking to you. >> you're welcome. also today, minutes ago, trayvon martin's mother spoke before a huge crowd. this was the national urban

league. here she was, sybrina fulton. she made her speech just a day after a juror, the only member of the jury who was a minority, broke her silence on the deliberations that let the man who shot her son go free. she is juror b-29. she is one of six women who acquitted george zimmerman. and she revealed her face to abc news. they only referred to her with her first name, mattie. she said the law forced her to vote not guilty, but her heart, she says, told her otherwise. >> you said earlier that you are the juror that could have made it a hung jury. >> oh, yes. >> do you have regrets that you didn't? >> kind of. i want trayvon's mom to know that i'm hurting. and if she thought that nobody cared about her son, i could speak for myself. i do care. i couldn't do anything about it. and i felt like i let a lot of people down. and i'm thinking to myself, did

i go the right way? did i go the wrong way? i know i went the right way because by the law and the way it was followed was the way it went. but if i would have used my heart, i probably would have went a hung jury. george zimmerman got away with murder. but you can't get away from god. and at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with. the law could improve it. but, you know, you know the world goes in circles. >> back to trayvon martin's mother. crime and justice correspondent joe johns has been listening to her speech at the national urban league conference in philadelphia. joe, i was watching right along as well. what struck me is she was just saying, you know, use me. use my story. learn from this. >> i think you can say this was just a deeply emotional speech from sybrina fulton. she was, of course, speaking

before the national urban league in philadelphia. she talked about the absolutely worst telephone call a parent can receive. she talked about life without her son. about the not guilty verdict for george zimmerman, the man who shot him. and she blames the stand your ground law in the state of florida for the outcome of the case. listen. >> no prom for trayvon. no high school graduation for trayvon. no college for trayvon. no grandkids coming from trayvon. all because of a law. a law that has prevented the person who shot and killed my son to be held accountable and to pay for this awful crime.

what is my message to you? my message to you is, please use my story. please use my tragedy. please use my broken heart. to say to yourself, we cannot let this happen to anybody else's child. >> now, in those remarks, sybrina fulton did not talk about the juror you just heard from in the case who went public saying he owed the martin family an apology and that george zimmerman got away with murder. she did address it in an earlier written statement. she said it's devastating for her family to hear the comments from juror b-29. comments which she says she already knew in her heart to be true. this new information challenges the nation, she says, once again

to do everything we can to make sure something like this never happens again, brooke. >> joe johns, thank you. big story overseas. in spain, the driver of that train that hurtled the tracks, killing scores of people, is now in police custody. in fact, we have video of him. here he is. bloodied, being led from the wreckage. this was wednesday. today a top police official referred to the crash as a crime. the current death toll is at least 78. american steven ward survived the crash. in an exclusive cnn interview, he describes how this entire nightmare unfolded. >> basically, i was writing in my journal. i kind of looked up and saw the speed and thought, oh, that's funny. i thought it might have been an error or something. then we went around a sharp turn. and all of a sudden, like, you could tell one set of wheels left the rails. we were kind of just riding on one set of wheels for two or three seconds. and there wasn't really screaming. most people were kind of like,

oh. no one got super scared about it. a few things of luggage started falling off the racks. then after one or two seconds, you could feel us leave the other side of the tracks. the whole train rotated about 90 degrees. i blacked out before we hit the ground. which was very lucky for me. and the next thing i knew, they were helping me out. >> cnn's carl penhaul still at the scene of the crash there in spain, northwestern spain. carl, the driver as we see now in custody. from reports we're reading, he seems to have fancied himself as a bit of a speed demon. >> well, we have seen reports of that off his facebook, for example. still bear in mind that this train that had the accident was an express train. it was a fast train designed in some parts of the track to run at 155 miles an hour. the question is, though, quite obviously, whether it should have been running as fast as it was at this point in the track. that is certainly a factor that the investigation are taking into account.

when we heard from a regional police chief here today, he said that, yes, the train driver was being investigated for possible crimes related to this accident. and then went on to describe the driver as being engaged in recklessness. of course, beyond the investigations, there's still the human dramas of this. yes, stories of death, stories of survival, stories of tremendous solidarity. and today i was also talking to one of the first responders. one of the first firefighters who arrived on the scene. this is what he had to say. >> translator: there was a young woman. she was trapped under an axle of a train. trapped. while she was trapped, she was conscious and she was saying, please get me out of here. get me out of here. why aren't you helping me get out of here? she didn't realize what she had on top of her. that's when you truthfully feel it's a bit, but you have to go on. you have to keep trying to help her. of course, that axle wasn't moving without a crane. she later died. she was about 22 years old.

>> reporter: you know, that young girl and, of course, many more did die. but many survived, too. and a lot of that was thanks to the rescuers and also neighbors who live here down by the tracks today as well talking to a couple of pensioners. 69 years old. they say when they heard the crash of the train, they took their own bedsheets and raced down to the tracks here to wrap the injured so that they didn't get cold and to mop away their blood, brooke. >> incredible. karl penhaul for us in spain. karl, thank you. unwanted kisses? groping? head locks? yeah. head locks. more women coming forward with very specific allegations against the mayor of san diego. and cnn just spoke with one woman who says she was victimized. > plus, we yus learned the mayor has announced a news conference in less than an hour to address the allegations. what will he say? we'll talk about all of that

four more women have now come forward bringing the tally to seven. seven women who say bob filner made unwanted sexual advances toward them. cnn's poppy harlow just talked to one of these alleged victims about what she says filner did to her. >> i don't remember if he directly asked for a kiss or tried to kiss me. but it became -- it was very uncomfortable. and i was saying to him initially, what would your wife do if she was sitting here? and he laughed a very crazy laugh. and then for the next few minutes, i just remember him trying to get my face towards his to kiss me on the mouth. and what we now know from the stories of the other women, it wouldn't have been on my mouth. it would have been more likely in my -- in my mouth or down my throat. >> i want you to watch the entire interview. join poppy tomorrow morning 6:00 a.m. "new day" saturday. the sex scandal involving mayor bob filner. happening at the same time, you

have anthony weiner, candidate for new york city mayor. he's grappling with his own accusations of sexually inappropriate behavior. and the message from house democratic leader nancy pelosi to these two men? get a clue. >> let me just say before i leave that let me be very clear. the conduct of some of these people that we're talking about here is reprehensible. it's so disrespectful of women. and what's really stunning about it is they don't even realize it. they don't have a clue. and it is really -- if they're clueless, get a clue. if they need therapy, do it in private. >> cnn's casey wian actually tracked down the san diego mayor for a comment. >> reporter: brooke, the four new women who have come forward with allegations of unwanted sexual advances against mayor bob filner are pillars of the community here in san diego. four more women came forward thursday to accuse san diego mayor bob filner of

inappropriate sexual conduct. they include a university dean and a retired navy rear admiral. they spoke with kpbs news. >> bob stepped between me and the doorway and he stopped me. he got very close to me. and he ran his finger up my cheek like this. he whispered to me, do you have a man in your life? >> he would come in and try and kiss me on the lips. i'd have to squirm to get away. just as recently as a few months ago, this happened. and i turned and he just slobbered down my chin. i was so violated. >> reporter: a total of seven women have now publicly accused filner of unwanted groping, kissing, even head locks. thursday filner showed up at a trolley station ground breaking. >> why are you still keeping your job? >> reporter: for several minutes he walked aimlessly, refusing to even acknowledge reporters' questions. bad message to the city of san diego that you are not addressing these allegations directly right now?

filner has admitted treating women badly but denies sexual harassment. what do you have to say to these women who've come forward and accused you of inappropriate behavior. finally the mayor said this. >> there is a legal process by which all this will be decided. that's what we'll be dealing with. there'll be no other statements regarding except for the legal process. >> reporter: one woman has filed a lawsuit while the mayor tries to make light of the controversy. >> i see you found the wonderful way to attract media attention for our efforts on the trolley. >> reporter: thursday night the county democratic party voted to urge the mayor to step down. just a little while, a group that is launching a recall campaign against mayor bob filner is expected to hold a news conference and announce their plans. they've set up a facebook page already. that page has more than 6,000 likes. brooke? >> casey, thank you. as i mentioned at the top of the hour, we have now learned here at cnn mayor bob filner will be making a public announcement at the top of the hour. in just about 40 minutes from now. we, of course, will be there. we'll bring it to you live as it happens.

her long day of pick ups and drop offs begins with arthritis pain... and a choice. take up to 6 tylenol in a day or just 2 aleve for all day relief. all aboard. ♪ at nascar's brickyard 400 this weekend the focus should be about the finish line. but an ad at the race right before you walk in has some wonder ing if wondering if it crosses the line between the right and wrong place to promote pot. it's an issue that may come up much more since as you know several states have legalized recreational marijuana use among adults. this is the ad fans will see on the monster screen just before entering this huge track in indianapolis. >> if you're an adult who enjoys a good beer, there's a similar product you might want to know about. one without all the calories and

health problem. less toxic so it doesn't cause hangovers or overdose death. not linked to violence or reckless behavior. marijuana. less harmful than alcohol. and time to treat it that way. for more information visit marijuanaissafer.org. >> so that ad comes from the marijuana policy project which advocates legalizing pot. mason tavet is the project's communication director. also joining this conversation is jerry o' terro. a parent support specialist at drugfree.org. mason, since this is from your group, let me just begin with you. the brick yard 400, this is a huge, huge deal for nascar fans. one of the biggest races. why this venue to promote your agenda? >> well, we just think it's critical that the public understand that marijuana is objectively less harmful substance than alcohol.

this is a large venue with a large audience. and it's one where people clearly recognize that it's okay for adults to enjoy a beer or two responsibly. you know, this is an event sponsored by beer and alcohol companies. all the teams are sponsored by beer and alcohol companies. so given that we accept that, why is it a problem for an adult to simply make the safer choice to use marijuana instead if that's what they'd prefer? >> here's the thing. you know, it's a lot of adults. it's kids, too. i know nascar events are family friendly. jerry, i pivot to you because i know i looked at this study. and you guys found more than 90% are against giving kids pot at home. these are adults. this is the survey from washington and colorado. you found more than 90% are against giving kids pot at home. more than 80% are for the ban of marijuana advertising. so knowing this and learning about this ad, jerry, how do you feel about it? >> well, we're not for it. i mean, we're not that happy about it.

because it's a slippery slope. we feel that tracking or following the 80% of parents who have weighed in on the issue and -- against advertising, we think it's a slippery slope to promoting this agenda to the next step, which could lead to what we might see or say as the marlboroization of the marijuana industry. we don't want to see a joe camel and have to deal with that. parents are just really up in arms about this. >> so, mason, how do you respond to that, that argument? the slippery slope argument. >> i don't know what parents are up in arms, necessarily, since a majority of americans support making marijuana legal for adults. the same poll that the partnership conducted found that more -- more parents than not think marijuana should be legal and tightly regulated. which is our goal here. but, you know, this is -- if this organization and others accept the fact that we can have this event sponsored by coors light and crown royal whiskey,

yet they are up in arms over the notion that we're simply pointing out the relative harms of these substances. i mean, what is wrong with pointing out that alcohol actually is toxic and does contribute to violent, reckless behavior, and marijuana doesn't? that's something that people should know. we're trying to educate people about the relative harms of these two very popular substances. >> i know you brought up alcohol twice. and when you look at this ad, it's obviously for legalizing marijuana. it appears anti-alcohol. to quote the ad, marijuana has no calories, no hangovers. it's not linked to violence or reckless behavior. are you saying, mason, that it's harmless? >> oh, no. i don't think we've ever said marijuana is harmless. certainly like with alcohol there are some people who shouldn't use marijuana for whatever reason. we want to keep marijuana out of the hands of young people just as much as everyone else in this country, including the other guest. it's just that we recognize that right now, 80% of american high

school seniors say they can get marijuana easily. this is not working. prohibition has failed. we want to regulate marijuana, treat it like alcohol and put it behind the counter where we can keep it away from young people easier. >> if you're targeting this nascar event, my final question to you, back to you, mason. hundreds of thousands, 600,000 people over the course of three days, what's next? >> well, you know, i think right now there's a great public dialogue going on in our country about the efficacy of our current marijuana laws and whether they need to change. a majority of americans think it's time to end marijuana prohibition. >> but locationwise. >> 20 states almost have medical marijuana laws. hopefully here soon washington, d.c., as well. it's really just a matter of this current policy failing and time for a change. >> i'm not asking about policy. locationwise. if you're targeting nascar -- a nascar event one weekend, what's next? venuewise. >> that's the point. >> oh, this was a great opportunity to reach a lot of people at a good cost. ultimately what it comes down to

is that nascar is a -- a great venue that does recognize the ability of adults to consume alcohol responsibly. they promote that. they in some ways encourage that. these events are sponsored by beer and liquor companies. >> okay. >> why is it a problem to simply have a public service announcement about the relative harms of alcohol and marijuana? it's simply not a problem. >> jerry, 20 seconds. i want you to end this. >> advertising is a -- advertising is a powerful tool. again, you know, we're -- we follow sentiments of parents who really don't want marijuana advertised. it's just that young people are just too susceptible to these advertisements and this kind of media campaign. we're not a policy -- we're not policy experts. we are experts in helping parents understand these issues, how to educate them and hopefully give them the tools to combat further problems down the road. >> mason tvert and jerry otero, thank you both. thousands of people over almost 50 years were sterilized

north carolina is poised to become the first state in the nation to compensate thousands of people who were sterilized against their will. cnn medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is here. i remember when you told the story initially. this is a huge deal, as we said. this is a first in the whole country. >> it is a first. this is such an unattractive and unhappy chapter in american history. a lot of people want to just put it aside. the reality is that thousands and thousands of people in this country were forcibly sterilized up until really the early 1970s. north carolina is now saying come forward. all you people. we are going to compensate you. at least that's what the legislature wants. to the tune of $10 million. it will end up being about $50,000 per person. so not a huge amount. but not a tiny amount either.

if the governor signs it, then it'll happen in about two years. >> who were these people who were being sterilized? >> you know, they were pretty much anyone who was considered sort of -- sort of not normal. if you were blind, you could be forcibly sterilized. if you had a skin condition you could be forcibly sterilized. if you were an orphan and ward of the state. really anything. if your neighbor called the police and said i think you ought to sterilize this person, they would sterilize you. it really didn't take much. it's a really sad, sad chapter. >> do you think with north carolina being the first, that other states might follow suit? >> you know, i went to north carolina in 2011. after that went to california. i thought california would be, you know, leading the way as they do so often on these kinds of issues and they weren't. they had no plan. they weren't even really looking into this very much. so i'm not sure. north carolina may stand alone. you know, it took ten years to do this in north carolina. one of their representatives' name is larry womble. he's been pushing this for ten

years. unfit human traits. defecti defectiveness. feebleminded. a burden. they said this publicly. this was in scholarly journals. this was not some secret thing. it was very public. academics, lawyers, politicians were all very much in favor of sterilizing these people. it seems so unbelievable now. >> so unbelievable were archaic, unreal. thank you for the update. most people would like to stay young. the roll ing stones may say you can't always get what you want. coming up next, a unique look at a rock 'n' roll legend on his 70th birthday. all business purchases. so you can capture your receipts, and manage them online with jot, the latest app from ink. so you can spend less time doing paperwork. and more time doing paperwork.

i want to tell you about this unusual case out of los angeles. a 19-year-old driver runs over a fire hydrant. slams into a high voltage light pole. this is southern california. several people see the accident. they rush in to help. two of them in water gushing from this hydrant, they're electrocuted by 48 hundred volts from the light pole's power line. now the driver is charged with two counts of felony manslaughter because those people died. and a judge has just ordered him to stand trial.

monica linstrom is a former prosecutor. just hearing this for the first time, have you ever heard of a case like this, monica? >> no. and when i did first read about it and hear about it, i could not believe that it was actually going forward. just because it seems so tenuous. we know that if you're driving lek lerecklessly, you hit someby and kill them, you could be tried for their death. driving recklessly you hit someone else's car, you could be held liable for the damage that was done. you would never think if i was driving recklessly, i hit something, someone comes to save me but the power pole went down, lines in the water, i mean, there are so many things you just wouldn't even think of in this particular case. >> because on the one side, you know, you think of the driver. it's not like the driver, who had just crashed into this pole or this hhydrant, had asked thee people to come help him, right? these people do it on their own volition. you know, the most unfortunate

thing happens. they get electrocuted. >> yeah. it's extremely sad. there's no doubt he never thought this could happen. the way the law is written, they can charge him with vehicular manslaughter because he acted with gross negligence. he caused the accident which caused the wires to go into the water because of the fire hydrant getting hit. he caused all these things to happen. and even though he didn't know the women were going to do this, he still caused their death. now, the defense is going to have to try to show, look, there were just too many things that happened to hold him responsible for it. it's unfortunate, but he could not have foreseen this would happen and you shouldn't hold him accountable for this. that's a tough argument the defense has. the state has a pretty strong case because these women would not be dead if he hadn't been acting with gross negligence. >> it is tragic as you say all the way around. we'll follow it and see if it goes all the way through. monica lindstrom, thank you. >> thank you. a graying and humbled o.j. simpson says he is sorry for the crimes that put him in prison. perhaps for the rest of his

from a number of women. in total now, seven women have come forward with different stories. these are the last four, more recent to come forward, talking to kpbs. a prominent businesswoman in san diego. rear admiral in the navy. dean of san diego state university. the final four here to come forward with allegations of unwanted sexual advances against this mayor. when you listen to these different women's stories, you hear about the infamous head lock. attempts to kiss them. slobbering. one woman told a story to kpbs about him tracing a finger along her cheek. these, again, are just allegations. we are awaiting and we have been trying -- casey wian is in san diego. he's been trying to get a comment from the mayor. so far, casey, as we wait for this man what has he told you? >> reporter: he hasn't told us much. he said he wanted to wait until the legal process plays out. one of those women accused him

of sexual misconduct has full-timed a lawsuit against him. she's represented by fwlgloria allred. the mayor says he's not going to talk about the allegations while this is playing out. there was a hastily called news conference. that come on the heels of mounting pressure for this mayor to step down. some powerful members o of his own party. last night the democratic committee of san diego county voted overwhelmingly to call for mayor filner's resignation. this morning the chairwoman of the national democratic party, teb ra waszerman schultz, also called for his resignation. a few minutes ago a citizens group brought a mlet tore thter mayor's office demanding the mayor resign by monday at 5:00 p.m. or face a recall petition. there's a lot of speculation he may be taking a leave of absence. some people thaiink he may resi.

some think he'll continue this combative attitude and say i'm going to stay in office as long as i can. >> we have no idea. that is the $50 million question as they test the mikes there in this room in city hall and we await the mayor. casey, we're not going to go too far from you and this picture on the left hand side of your screen. as we stay honed in on that picture, casey, let me go ahead and bring in poppy harlow. we continue hearing the stories of these women and allegations, you today talked to one of the women. she came forward wednesday. >> she's the third one to come forward out of seven. her name's morgan rose. she's a psychologist for the unified school district of san die diego. her story is this. that she met with then congressman filner back in 2009 because she had an initiative to help children, this group. he said he could help her bring it to first lady, michelle obama. she met with him publicly in a group forum for about half an hour. then she said he called her at

home. >> let me cut you off. here he is. bob filner. >> good afternoon. let me be absolutely clear. the behavior i have engaged in over many years is wrong. my failure to respect women and the intimidating conduct i engaged in at times is inexcusable. it has undermined what i have spent my whole professional life doing and working on. and that is fighting for equality and justice for all people. it is simply not acceptable for me to try to explain away my conduct as the product of the standards of a different generation. i apologize to my staff. i apologize to the citizens and staff members who have supported me over the years. i apologize to the people of san diego. and most of all, i apologize to the women i have offended.

over the last week, i have reached out to the men and women who have served on my staff and others who i have worked with over the years and apologized for my behavior. in addition, we have instituted changes in how the mayor's office is run. however, words alone are not enough. i am responsible for my conduct. i must take responsibility for my conduct by taking action so that such conduct does not ever happen again. beginning on august 5th, i will be entering a behavior counseling clinic to undergo two weeks of intensive therapy to begin the process of addressing my behavior.

>> so obviously they're having audio issues. right sort of at the crux of his message. just saying he's going to take action in august. he's going to enter this behavior counseling clinic, undergo these two weeks of intensive therapy. do we have his audio back up? this isn't -- here's a last minute audible. we are just all sitting here and watching this together. all right, guys. just get in my ear when we think that the mayor's audio is working. i hate to talk over him. okay. still nothing. no one wants to sit in silence. as we sit and wait, francine

busby is on the phone with me. chair of the san diego county democratic party. francine, we're going to talk until the mayor hopefully cuts us off when his microphone gets working again. since i have you quickly react to what we've heard so far. >> well, you know we called for him to step down and get the help he needs so the city can move forward. he's made it pretty clear previously he wasn't going to step down. and i think that this whole -- everything's in his hands right now. there is no other action anyone can take other than a recall which is highly expensive and very high threshold. i would say he's not going to resign and he's determined to follow that path of getting the help he needs is the first step. then he has to -- he has to behave himself. he has to respect everybody he works with and prove to the people of san diego that he's their mayor or there will be more of this effort to continue to try to recall him. >> how does he do that? how does he prove to the people of san diego, how does he prove to his constituents?

this is a man who's been in office just, what, since december of 2012. has the trust been built up enough yet? >> no, it hasn't. i don't think anyone's going to excuse or forget the behaviors that led to this. the legal charges will continue. there will be more charges and more women coming forward. considering he's made it clear he doesn't want to resign, i would say that this is the first step he absolutely needs to take for himself first. and then if he's going to prove to the people that he can actually govern effectively, he needs to start respecting people. you know, he's been very -- very difficult to work with with many different groups in the city. he needs to be respectful to them as well as the women. again, because of the way the charter is in san diego, there are only two ways to remove a mayor. that is through resignation or recall. the recall is just a huge, huge challenge to pull off.

so if he is determined to be mayor this is the next best step he could take. >> and we saw that he walked out. i'm being told in my ear from the control room, thanks, guys, apparently they're working on his audio as i talk live on tv. they are working to get his audio fixed. so there's more. >> one other comment. >> go ahead. >> the people of san diego are going to weigh in on whether or not this is enough for them right now or if the call for his resignation will get louder or settle down. that's something else we'll be watching along with you. >> stay with me, francine, if you can. stay with me on the phone. for people who are just joining us and wondering what the heck's happening here, they're trying to fix the microphone to the podium behind which we saw for -- for about a couple minutes the mayor of san diego talking about all these allegations, seven women now publicly coming forward with these allegations of sexual misconduct. we've just heard the mayor saying the behavior he's engaged

in is wrong. that he's failed to respect women. intimidating conduct is inexcusable. casey wian, you're still with me. you're sitting there. what more did you hear? also what's going on? >> it's really bizarre, brooke. this whole episode couldn't be more bizarre. it just has gotten ramped up a bit. they're having audioproblems with the mayor's microphone. they brought a new microphone out. that doesn't seem to be working either either. the mayor disappeared back behind a closed door. i guess he decided he'll come back out once the technical issues are worked out. it was right at the height of his statement when he was going to say exactly what he was going to do. it's very clear that he's going to enter some sort of a two-week rehabilitation behavior assessment program. he said that. but he didn't talk about how long he's going to be gone from the office of mayor. whether that's going to be a temporary thing, just a couple of weeks, or whether it may be longer. he came out and gave a very -- very clear and forceful apology

to all of the women that he has offended. there was none of the sort of waffling about, you know, maybe i treated women badly, but i have not engaged in any sexual harassment. he did not deny those claims by some of the women. and he said that his behavior is inexcusable and has been inexcusable. and it must change. so it seemed like he was addressing the issues very straightforward before, as we all know in this business, the audio went out. >> as i've been watching and talking to you we have a new podium. i know these audio guys are working as fast as humanly possible to try to get a functioning microphone. as you point out very appropriately, this is very bizarre. because this was sort of the crux of his message where we heard the mayor sort of leave off saying i -- he said i must take action beginning in august he will enter this behavior counseling clinic, undergo two weeks intensive therapy and then

the microphone went out. as we wait for that, poppy harlow, let me bring you back into this. you were talking about the woman who came forward on wednesday. >> yep. >> and she was working with the mayor, trying to get her message to the first lady of the united states. let me ask you this, though. a lot of people are saying why did it take so long? >> so this woman, as i was telling you before, her name's morgan rose. she was a school psychologist. and she was working with him to try to get her message and her program to the first lady. and then congressman filner said i can help you. she met with him once. then he called her and he said, i need to get to know who the heck you are. that's what he said to her. we need a one on one meeting. so they did in a restaurant. she said that he came over to her four times and tried to forcefully kiss her. had her sort of pinned back. very aggressively, even in public. and i said to her, why didn't you come forward first? she said, you know what? i had to figure out a way to do it that was respectful to me, to

my family, with integrity. people are scared to come forward. when two other women came before, she finally said, that's it. i'm going to tell my story. she did that wednesday. then spoke to us. and then four more women have come forward. i think it takes more than one. this is a man in great -- a position of great power. >> when you look at the women, i watched these interviews on kpbs. when you look at the women who come forward, you have the president of the san diego prosecute tenants association, a prominent businesswoman. a rear admiral. a dean at one of the schools, san diego state university. these are prominent women in this community who are all sharing their stories now. >> and she told me, brooke, that them coming out after her made her feel just so much better about it. because she spoke about those women's authority and their roles. thought that would put even more credibility to their stories. again, these are allegations. >> yep. allegations. >> but listening to what mayor filner just said, he talked

about his behavior being wrong. a failure to respect women being inexcusable. so he didn't come out there and deny what he has heard in the past days. >> also, casey wian, are you still with me? >> yes, i am, brooke. it appears that the audio problems have been fixed. we should see the mayor re-emerge any moment. one of his aides just knocked on that door behind that podium. as you pointed out, there's a whole new podium. whole new microphone. whole new setup. they got the thumbs up from all the photographers in the room. we're expecting at any moment the mayor will re-emerge and continue with his statement, brooke. >> quickly, guys, as we watch for the mayor to emerge through the door again, the tone he took seconds ago -- nope. not him. not him. >> there you go. >> here we go. let's watch again. >> i apologize for the inconvenience. for the sake of, i guess, those who want a clean tape, i'm going

to start over. let me be absolutely clear. the behavior i have engaged in over many years is wrong. my failure to respect women and the intimidating contact at times is inexcusable. it has undermined what i have spent my whole professional life working on. fighting for equality and justice for all people. and it is simply not acceptable for me to try to explain away my conduct as the product of the standards of a different generation. i apologize to my staff. i apologize to the citizens and staff members who have supported me over many years. i apologize to the people of san diego. and most of all, i apologize to the women that i have offended. over the last week or so, i have reached out to the men and women who have served on my staff and

others who i have worked with over the years and apologized for my behavior. in addition, we have instituted changes in how the mayor's office is run. however, words alone are not enough. i am responsible for my conduct. and i must take responsibility for my conduct by taking action so that such conduct does not ever happen again. so beginning on august 5th, i will be entering a behavior counseling clinic to undergo two weeks of intensive therapy to begin the process of addressing my behavior. during this time period, i will be at the clinic full time. though every morning and evening i will be briefed on city activities. this intensive counseling will just be the first step in what will be a continuing program that will involve ongoing regular counseling.

i must become a better person. and my hope is that becoming a better person, i put myself in a position to some day be forgiven. however, before i even ask, before i even think of asking for forgiveness, i need to demonstrate that my behavior has changed. and that will only happen over time and only if such incidents never, ever happen again. so when i return on august 19th, my focus will be on making sure that i am doing right by this city in terms of being the best mayor i can be. and the best person i must be. thank you. >> and you hear the reporters -- hear the reporters shouting the question what about all the people who've called on you to resign, and he walked away. we just heard the last little bit of where he had left off before. and basically saying that he's

taking this two-week break where he's going -- not a break from really being a full-time mayor and going to intense behavioral therapy. it's part of the counseling clinic for two weeks. he'll still remain, you know, briefed on the goings on in the city of san diego. he will be back on the job, it sounds like, august 19th. talking about how he has to -- he realizes he has to demonstrate that his behavior has, in fact, changed. francine busby, still on the phone with me. chair of the san diego county democratic party. i know your group was leading the charge calling for his resignation. is the two weeks in this counseling clinic, i'm just asking this again now that we've heard the thing in its entirety, is the two weeks in the counseling good enough for you and the city of san diego? >> let's put it into perspective. right now the mayor either -- this ball is in his court. he -- we can all ask him to resign. but he is the only one that can make that happen. the next -- if he's not going to resign the next best thing is to get the help that he needs.

the question is whether or not the city of san diego want to wait for him to do this and see if he can prove himself or if they feel that, you know, he has had his opportunity. so, you know, i think the democrats are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt simply because they put so much trust and faith in him to promote the progressive agenda that we've waited 20 years to present. we'll see what happens when he comes back. if he can change his behavior, it doesn't erase what he's done. it opportunity erase the charges against him or the legal liability. the ball is in his court. he definitely needs to get this help. we'll see what happens. >> francine busby, thank you again. mayor bob filner saying i must become a better person. poppy harlow, still with me here in studio 7. >> i think it's important that people hear some sound from one of his accusers, one of seven. this woman we've been talking about, morgan rose. i just interviewed her a few hours ago before this

announcement. i'm going to call her after and see what she thinks about this decision. she told me she thinks he should resign, no question. this is her describing what happened to her in a public restaurant in san diego in 2009 in her second meeting with then congressman filner. listen. >> i don't remember if he directly asked for a kiss or tried to kiss me. but it became -- it was very uncomfortable. and i was saying to him initially, what would your wife do if she was sitting here? and he laughed a very crazy laugh. and then for the next few minutes, i just remember him trying to get my face towards his to kiss me on the mouth. and what we now know from the stories of the other women, it wouldn't have been on my mouth, it would have been more likely in my -- in my mouth or down my throat. >> those allegations are harsh. and they jive with what a lot of other women says. he hasn't directly answered her

allegations or the other ones. but we tdid call his office repeatedly this morning. we e-mailed asking for a response directly to her allegations. we heard nothing. in the press conference we didn't hear anything direct. she told me no question he should step down. i know a lot of people are asking why are they coming forward now. this happened in 2009. it's not easy. it's not easy to come forward. when someone's in a position of authority -- she told me even after that happened she tried to just finish the meeting so her agenda, goal of getting this program forward wouldn't stop. because you need people in power. we'll see if he directly addresses those allegations. >> let us know what she says. >> i will. we'll have much more of her interview tomorrow morning. >> "new day" saturday 6:00 a.m. with poppy harlow. thank you very much. big news out of cleveland as we have now seen the man admitting to the crimes of kidnapping and raping these women who he held hostage in his home for a decade. ariel castro in his own words, next.

forgiveness. here it is. >> her mom was saying she forgave him. they were going to wait for the judicial system to take its place and do what it had to do. i can tell you they are probably very happy about this because no one wanted to relive the horror that went on in that home for the past decade. >> two points. one, i'm always just amazed by forgiveness, right, the ability to forgive. >> right. >> and also you can understand possibly where these young women would be coming from. would you want to spend any more time staring at this man inside of a court? >> well, absolutely. you know, bless her for forgiving. i think it's just so hard. this is one of the most horrific cases, as we know, we've ever seen. so especially the circumstances. victims have rights in the u.s. they have victims by statute, by constitutional rights, all over the country. they have the right to have input. a lot of victims, especially victims in this case, say i don't want a trial. it's not closure. because you never have closure. it's too horrific. but if they don't want a trial, they have a right to be heard.

they have a right to have input. i think that's what's happened here with the prosecutor. i think their released statement was very appropriate under the circumstances. i think we all get it. >> i wish these three young women privacy and peace. anne bremner, thank you. >> very well stated. thank you. coming up next, from new york mayoral candidate anthony weiner's explicit text messages to accusations that san diego mayor bob filner sexually harassed multiple women, we're hearing a lot about men behaving badly. men in power. what makes them do it? we'll discuss after this quick break. at university of phoenix we kis where it can take you.cation (now arriving: city hospital) which is why we're proud to help connect our students with leading employers across the nation.

we have all heard about the latest batch of anthony weiner's very naked, very sexually explicit photographs. now the woman on the other end of his latest sexting scandal is talking. she is sidney leather. she is a 23-year-old from indiana. revealing to "inside edition" everything you probably did not want to know about the man running for mayor of new york city. >> how would you describe him?

i read one quote that -- that suggested you thought he was a dirty old man. >> he actually said that about himself to me. the exact wording was that he is an argumentative, perpetually horny middle-aged man. at the time i was like, oh, no, you're not. but, yes, he is. i felt manipulated. >> why? >> because obviously i felt like, you know, he's saying one thing to me, saying another thing to his wife. saying another thing on the campaign trail. i don't know who the real anthony weiner is, i guess. >> so at what point did it break off and why? >> there wasn't really a specific reason why. and neither one of us ever really officially ended it. it just kind of started to fizzle out. he got a little bit controlling with me towards the end. >> how so? >> he would tell me that he would be jealous. he would, like, look at my facebook frequently. he would tell me that he would get jealous if other men would

compliment me and just little stuff like that. >> leathers says she sent 30 messages in total to weiner at his request. many of them pictures of her feet. she says he liked that kind of thing. so she also told "inside edition" she feels sorry for weiner's wife, huma, who of course is pub lulicly standing her man. his wife may be okay with it. we heard her talk about forgiveness the other day. house democratic leader nancy pelosi is not. she is speaking out against weiner's behavior and she also threw in there mayor bob filner of san diego who is accused of sexually harassing at least seven women. >> let me just say before i leave, let me be very clear, the conduct of some of these people that we're talking about here is reprehensible. it's so disrespectful of women. and what's really stunning about it is that they don't even realize it. you know, they don't have a clue. and it is really -- if they're

clueless, get a clue. if they need therapy, do it in private. >> i want to mention as well, in case you missed it at the top of the hour, moments ago we actually heard from mayor filner himself out of san diego. bizarre press conference. mike went out. comes back to the microphone. finishes his thoughts. he is taking time-out, entering this behavioral counseling for two weeks, but he will not resign. here he was. >> the behavior i have engaged in over many years is wrong. my failure to respect women and the intimidating contact i've had at times is inexcusable. it has undermined what i have spent my whole professional life working on. fighting for equality and justice for all people. >> judy kurionski, i wanted to talk to you about this today. you are a clinical psychologist, a sex therapist.

i hear you laughing. men in politics behaving badly, it's not an original concept. it got us thinking today, why do they do it? what's your answer? >> they do it because they can get away with it. part of it has to do with them. and part of it, brooke, is because of us. we give them a pass. we gave anthony weiner a pass. well, he may not get away with it this time. the other is that they really have some deep psychological problems. besides a potential sex addiction that we know some of the others have suffered from, the psychological problem of just what we heard the mayor talk about. he said intimidating women, not feeling that they're equal. i'm particularly worried that two weeks of behavioral counseling is not enough. this is not a quick fix of just withholding your behavior and not pinching a girl or going to kiss her. there's deeper psychological needs. narcissism. feeling entitled. egotism. >> i hear you, judy.

i hear you. but i'm also curious. because when you look at the case, again, we have to be crystal clear in san diego, you know, these are allegations. but here you have the mayor, and when you look, judy, at these four latest women who have come forward, they are women of power. these are not young women. yet they allege, you know, that the head lock, the attempted kisses, the slobbering, the fingers in places they don't want fingers, how do you explain that? >> i think that's a very interesting case because he is one of the few who have not had that power imbalance looking at interns or students or much younger girls. this is a man who's going after women of power. the dean. imagine all those. i think that shows a different kind of psychology. this is a man who's competing with women. who has to look at a powerful woman and prove, then, that he is more powerful than her.

that he can dominate her. i would go back to his childhood about that and take a look at what happened with mommy. that's why i think that these are issues that really need to be dealt with over well a period of time beyond two week. he even admitted it. he said something very important there. he said, brooke, i'm in the process. and so this is a long process. not two weeks of quick change your behavior. it's very significant how he feels about women in power. and what that does to make him impotent that he needs to dominate them. >> we'll see how he does when he gets back on the job in two weeks and how he proves that to the people of san diego. judy kuriansky, thank you very much. always a pleasure, your perspective. coming up, the prosecution rests in reputed mob boss whitey bulger's trial in boston. but this week the testimony has absolutely been explosive. later this hour, we will hear more from the courtroom. the chevy malibu offers

the dramatic capture of reputed mob boss whitey bulger, that was relived in court today right before the prosecution rested its case. cnn's deborah feyerick has been in court each and every day for us. what have the highlights been? >> reporter: in resting their case, prosecutors showed exactly who whitey bulger is and what he's all about. not 20 years ago when hechs at the height of his power, but just two years ago when he was arrested in santa monica. they trotted out guns, pistols, berattas. 30 different weapons they found in his apartment. also $822,000 in cash. all of that stored in holes in wa walls. they wanted to remind the jury this was a man who was ready to shoot his way out if and when he was arrested. that's one of the reasons, brooke, that he was actually brought to a garage, to the basement of his apartment so that, in fact, he was separate from all those things he had in

his apartment. you can see some of the books you're showing there. those are mob books from his former criminal associates. he was actually keeping tabs on what they were doing, what they were writwriting, where they we going. what was interesting today was just to listen how even when he was surrounded by fbi agents with their guns drawn, he initially refused to follow orders and get on his knees, brooke. because he didn't want to get grease on his pants. that's how defiant he was. then when one of the agents said, you know, who are you? let me see identification. he finally acknowledged, he said, you know who i am. i'm whitey bulger. the defense is going to wrap its case next week. so we could hear closing arguments. this is going much quicker than anticipated. and, brooke, just a final note. the defense does want to call the mother of one of the female victims because two of the men who last saw that girl alive, whitey bulger and stephen flemmi, she'll make the case flemmi ha more motive to kill

her than bulger. little smoke coming up there. >> next week, huge week. we'll be talking to you next week out of boston. deborah feyerick, thank you so much. and we will be right back. the tide's coming in! this is my favorite one. it's upside down. oh, sorry.
