Xander Ford arrested after ex-GF files complaint, freed after posting P18-K bail

Xander Ford was arrested by the police after his ex-girlfriend filed a complaint against him under the Anti-Violence Against Women And Their Children Act.

According to Jonathan Andal's report on "24 Oras," the 24-year-old social media personality was nabbed in Pasay City on Tuesday evening.

He was released on Wednesday after his agency, Star Image Artist Management, posted the P18,000 bail.

"Nag-reklamo po 'yung ex girlfriend ni Xander na nananakit daw si Xander at merong alegasyon na attempted rape," said David Cabawatan, the agency's general manager.

Ford denied the allegations but asked for forgiveness from his ex-girlfriend.

"Parehas po kaming nasaktan sa mga nangyari po sa aming dalawa pero hindi ko po siya napisikal po. Mahal ko po 'yun e," he said.

"Nanghihingi po ako ng sorry dun sa ex ko na kahit po alam ko na wala naman akong ginawang masama sa kanya," he added.

Ford is on indefinite suspension from his agency after his involvement in controversies recently.

"Mabigat po sa kalooban namin na pumunta po dito. Kasi marami pong binigay sa amin na problema ni Xander, naisip po namin baka dapat eto mabigyan siya nang aral na talaga," Cabawatan said.

"Pero syempre magpapasko po, medyo lumambot po ang puso namin."
