Florida Marlins catcher Ramon Castro was released on $25,000 bond Friday, after he was charged with rape.
Castro, 27, from Puerto Rico was arrested and charged Friday night at Allegheny County Jail, his release was delayed while he underwent a psychiatric evaluation required in all cases in Allegheny County when someone is accused of a sex offense.
Castro was on his way back to Miami on Friday night after the incident in Pittsburgh, Castro and another couple met at a bar and then went to a Westin hotel where Castro was staying.
The woman alleged the assault took place early Thursday in Castro's room after the other couple left, Kraus said.
Castro allegedly threw the women on a hotel bed, ripped off her clothes and held her down, the women resisted but Castro continued to sexually assault her.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 4.
Speaking from Puerto Rico, Castro's wife, Brenda Castro, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that she had talked with her husband while he was in police custody and that she stood behind him.
"He told me everything. I know he did what is right," she told the newspaper in Spanish.
