Attorney General seeking to revoke Forcillo's bail after alleged breach

Crown applies to revoke James Forcillo's bail The Attorney General is seeking to revoke the bail previously granted to James Forcillo in the wake of him breaching a condition.

The Attorney General is seeking to revoke the bail of Const. James Forcillo in the wake of his arrest for allegedly breaching his bail conditions earlier this week.

Yasir Naqvi’s office confirmed the move to CP24 on Friday morning.

Forcillo was taken into custody on Wednesday morning after he was allegedly found at a residence other than the one that he was required to reside at.

At the time of the alleged breach, Forcillo was awaiting a now cancelled court hearing, where he was planning to ask a judge to alter his bail conditions so he would be permitted to reside with his fiancé, identified as Sara Balderrama.

In court documents related to that hearing, Forcillo said that he separated from his wife in early 2017 and shortly thereafter began a long-distance relationship with Balderrama, who was an old friend from his college days in Los Angeles.

He was asking the court to grant a variation to his bail conditions that would allow him to live with Balderrama and have her as a surety.

One of Forcillo’s lawyers, Peter Brauti, tells CP24 that the matter of whether to revoke Forcillo’s bail now takes precedence over having hearings to adjust his earlier bail conditions.

Forcillo was under strict bail conditions at the time of his arrest that required him to reside with his now ex-wife at their home in Vaughan at all times, except for medical emergencies, court appearances, and other select circumstances.

Forcillo will remain in custody until a court appearance scheduled for Nov. 30.
