Two of the four suspects accused of raping an 18-year-old woman inside a vehicle in Kuna earlier this month have asked a judge to reduce their bond.

According to Idaho court records, Swedi Iyombelo and Elias Lupango have filed a motion to have their bonds reduced which was set at $250,000.

Deputies say an 18-year-old girl began having sexual contact with Iyombelo when a short time later, three other men and a 16-year-old boy showed up and forced themselves on the woman inside the car.

CBS 2 News reports, the only scheduled hearing involved in the cases is the preliminary hearing set for Wednesday.
