Ex-girlfriend held captive

A Chicago man who allegedly held a woman he once dated captive for more than two months will be held without bond. Twenty-two-year-old Sir Wilfred Camaligan appeared in court Sunday on charges that he beat the woman and held her hostage at his apartment. Authorities say she escaped Friday and someone let her use a cellphone to contact her mother. Camaligan was found in the basement of his home and arrested by police Friday. He was charged with domestic aggravated battery, kidnapping and attempted murder. The Chicago Tribune reports a public defender says Camaligan was a nursing assistant. Prosecutors say the alleged victim suffered hearing loss in one ear and a fractured shoulder blade. Attorneys say Camaligan and the woman met at an anime convention and began corresponding online.
