The National Parole Board is recommending a designated long-term offender from the Yukon be charged with breaching his supervision order.

The recommendation for Frank Ralph Ladue from Ross River was reached after a panel review earlier this month.

Ladue, 44, was labelled a long-term offender in 2003, following a conviction of break, enter and sexual assault.

In that case, an intoxicated woman woke up to find Ladue taking off her clothes. Other people interrupted the sexual assault. He was sentenced to three years in prison and also had a seven-year-long term supervision order imposed.

The long-term order was put in place because of Ladue's previous convictions of entering women's bedrooms or breaking into their homes and raping them while they lay passed out drunk.

The parole board's decision states that on Jan. 26, a warrant suspending Ladue's supervision order was issued after a urine sample tested positive for cocaine metabolite. That indicated he had used drugs in contravention of the order, which came into effect at the end of his jail sentence last December.

The report points to a number of indications since his release of drug use, including other urine tests and reports to his parole officer.

'During the post-suspension interview with your community parole officer, you admitted that you had used cocaine but that you were clean prior to going to the sweatlodge on Jan. 19, 2007 and the longhouse on Jan. 21, 2007,' it's noted. 'You told your parole officer you used because your emotions regarding residential school resurface, especially in the winter.'

Ladue also stated he masked his emotions and essentially felt 'dead inside,' and returning to drug use helped him forget about the abuse.

'You now realize that drugs have caused you many problems and appear to be motivated to address your substance abuse problems through programming,' the report reads.

'Since beginning your long-term supervision order, you have breached your abstain condition on at least four occasions and there are suspicions of other breaches. Your level of commitment to abstinence is questionable.'

The report then goes on to state the risk factors that were identified in contributing to Ladue's criminal behaviour included substance abuse, attitude and personal and emotional issues.

It was his case management team that recommended the criminal charge be laid because the team believes his risk can no longer be safely managed in the community.

It's also noted in the five-page report that previous assessments have rated Ladue at a moderate to high risk of sexual reoffending as well as general reoffending.

'If you were to reoffend sexually, your history suggests that your most likely victim would be an intoxicated female whom you assault while you are yourself inebriated. Your past pattern indicates that intoxication increases your deviant sexual interests,' it reads.

If Ladue is not sentenced to prison time, his case management team suggested living for some time in a community residential facility would be the best way to provide him with supports.

That would include weekly reporting to the high risk offender police unit, one-on-one psychological counselling, substance abuse counselling and the sex offender program as well as contact being made with other organizations and counsellors.

At his hearing, the parole board stated the elder helping him indicated he knew he had to deal with the trauma of his past and substance abuse.

'You are not a man who talks easily, and you indicate that the abuse you have suffered has left you with a problem in trusting authority,' the report states.

'There are facilities that are willing to consider you for service and treatment, but they want you to demonstrate intent by remaining clean and sober for a time prior to being accepted.'

Currently, Ladue is being considered by an aboriginal treatment centre specializing in surviving trauma and substance abuse.

'Nevertheless, at this moment, the board concludes that you will be unable to adhere to the conditions of your long-term supervision order without establishing a period of sobriety and/or meaningful treatment fist.

'Over many years now, you have shown that your risk to commit new crimes and hurt people increases immensely when you use alcohol or drugs,' the report concludes.

With that, the board recommended the charge be laid in an effort to protect society.

'It is hoped and suggested that whatever the consequences of this recommendation, you will take every opportunity for treatment offered, and make every effort to cope with your trauma and risk.'
