Three Cleveland women who escaped in May after about a decade of captivity appeared in a video posted to YouTube thanking people for their help and requesting continued privacy.

Each of the three, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, makes a statement in the video, posted for them by a Cleveland PR firm.

"First and foremost, I want everyone to know how happy I am to be home with my family and my friends,? Berry says. ?It's been unbelievable. I want to thank everyone who has helped me and my family through this entire ordeal. Everyone who has been there to support us -- it's been a blessing to have such an outpouring of love and kindness."

Ariel Castro, 52, has pleaded not guilty to a 329-count indictment in the case that includes multiple kidnapping and rape charges. He's being held on an $8 million bond.

Authorities accuse him of kidnapping the women between 2002 and 2004 when they were 14, 16 and 20 years old. A trial is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 5.
