HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- More details are being released in the rape investigation of two restaurant workers in Apollo Beach.

In August, two women were leaving work at the Dock's Bar and Grille when they were kidnapped at gunpoint.

Hundreds of pages of court documents from the State Attorney's Office have been released.

Deputies say the suspects drove the women around Hillsborough and Manatee counties and continuously raped them.

Documents show that the victims identified areas that the men drove them to, which included a bank ATM, and deputies were able to use surveillance video to find the suspects.

Two men and a teenager, 20-year-old Rigoberto Martinez, 20-year-old Vicente Reyes-Carbajal and 13-year-old Jose Walle, who is being charged as an adult, have been charged in the case.

The documents also list physical evidence found on the side of the road, including a condom and beer cans.

The paperwork also said there are DNA matches on pieces of evidence to both Martinez and Walle.

There is no date set for the trial.
