SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- A motion was filed Thursday to revoke Winel Castro-Molina's bond. He’s the man accused of raping a driver he found stranded on I-4.The State Attorney's Office filed the motion Thursday. Castro-Molina has been free on bond for nine days with no GPS or other means of monitoring where he is.Castro-Molina’s original bond was $25,000. When he put up the standard ten percent of that bond, he walked out of jail, essentially free, the only oversight coming from his bondsman.SUSPECT CONFRONTED:See Images | Raw Video RAW INTERVIEW:Castro-Molina's Bail Bondsman Talks SUSPECT LEAVES JAIL: Raw Video | See Images SLIDESHOW: Images Of Suspect, Storage Unit, I-4Only Eyewitness News caught up with accused I-4 rapist Winel Castro-Molina as he visited his bondsman on Tuesday.“Winel, we want to talk to you.
