Normally I wouldn't post something like this - but since it comes on the heels of the Kobe Bryant case and it happened in my hometown.

Florida Marlins backup catcher Ramon Castro was arrested and jailed on a charge of rape Thursday after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her in his hotel room, officials said.

CASTRO, 27, WAS TAKEN to the Allegheny County Jail late Thursday. He also was being held on charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault and unlawful restraint.

Pittsburgh police Lt. Kevin Kraus said a 28-year-old woman, who was not identified by authorities, went to a hospital early Thursday morning and reported she had been raped a couple hours earlier. A hospital worker called police at 5:42 a.m.

The woman was treated and released for what Kraus described as minor injuries.
