Judge Anita Sukola has denied bail modification requests for all officers accused of crimes connected to the Blue House brothel.
Citing
a concern for the safety of the communities and alleged victims of the
brothel, Sukola denied requests that the officers be released on a
personal bond or recognizance.
Bail amounts for Officers David Manila, Mario Laxamana and Anthony Quenga are $250,000, $100,000 and $250,000, respectively.
Attorney Peter Perez, who represents Mario Laxamana, noted in court that his client intends to post bail. It is uncertain if the other officers plan to do the same.
