No doubt Berry had to develop some degree of affection for her captor in order to allow her to survive for so long under such circumstances — and if she could get him to develop feelings for her and her child, then they had a better chance of not being killed. In fact, Berry wrote how she would put Castro's hand on her belly when Jocelyn was kicking, hoping that if he was excited about being a father, he wouldn't beat the baby into a miscarriage, as he had done multiple times with fellow captive Michelle Knight.
Berry's instincts were correct, because he did allow the trio and Jocelyn to survive, which is all anyone could have asked for in that nightmarish scenario.

With his siblings arrested as well but not brought up on any charges, Castro was formally accused of kidnapping Berry, DeJesus and Knight and of keeping them hostage at his Cleveland home.
He was indicted on charges, including counts of kidnapping, counts of rape and two counts of aggravated murder for forcing abortions.
He entered this plea to avoid the death penalty. On August 1, Castro was sentenced to life in prison plus 1, years without the possibility of parole. Berry did not attend the hearing, but her fellow victim Knight was present.
