A Toronto cop accused of sexually-assaulting a 14-year-old boy and interfering with another teen remains behind bars even though he was granted bail.Justice of the Peace Jerry Rosenfield ruled Monday in an Old City Hall courtroom that Brandon Fraser, 24, could be released into the care of his mother and aunt if they could $15,000 for bail.However, Fraser remained in custody after the family could only pony up $5,000.Police alleged the officer sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy between January and May 2009. An alleged "inappropriate" sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy occurred between September 2010 and March 2011, according to investigators.Fraser has been charged with one count each of sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation.A publication ban prohibits media from reporting on evidence heard in court and the reasons of the judge's decision.Wearing a brown t-shirt and dark blue jeans, Fraser cupped his hands and stood calmly as he listened to Rosenfield read out his bail restrictions.He is not to have access to cell phones or computers that would allow him to surf the Internet. Nor can he be in the company of anyone under the age of 18, unless accompanied by one of his sureties.As part of the conditions, the young officer must remain under house arrest at his mother, Coreen Fraser's west-end apartment, except when his aunt Anita Radics drives him to police headquarters to check in, twice daily.Fraser's mother left the courthouse, wearing sunglasses and a scarf that covered most of her face. She was accompanied by Radics and two other family members.The family declined comment and Radics appeared irate with the media, swearing at reporters before the group took off in a taxi.A constable with Toronto Police, Fraser joined 42 Division in August 2010, but has been out patrolling the streets since January. He was arrested by the Toronto Police Service professional standards unit on March 28.
