After making allegations about Karla Homolka's post-prison behaviour, Richer Lapointe, her former employer, came under some scrutiny of his own.

Lapointe will be in a Longueuil, Que. courtroom on Wednesday in connection with charges stemming from an altercation, CFCF reporter Jennifer Tryon told CTV News.

The Toronto Sun picked up his story Monday, and the newspaper said Lapointe received nothing from them.

"People are offering money for pictures, things like that; I said no,'' Lapointe told Toronto radio station CFRB. "I just wanted it to be clear. Across Canada and Quebec -- anywhere -- I never, never, never got a penny, nothing.''

Tryon said according to Homolka's lawyer, Homolka quit her job at Lapointe's hardware store on Friday -- as soon as she found out Lapointe was facing criminal charges.

Under the 'Section 810' order imposed on her by a judge before her release, Homolka is not to associate with known criminals.

"And we heard from neighbors  ... they heard an altercation outside the house -- someone being forced to leave the apartment without wanting to," she said.

"They went outside and said she was being removed from the apartment. This is the same time, her lawyer said, that she had found out that her employer at the hardware store was facing criminal charges," Tryon said.

The allegations

Lapointe's allegations about Homolka breaking some conditions of her release brought the convicted sex killer back into the news with a vengeance.

On Tuesday, the Sun quoted Homolka's now ex-boss as saying he believes the convicted sex killer has breached at least two conditions of her release, including associating with known criminals.

Tim Danson, a lawyer for the families of murdered teens Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, said Tuesday he will ask Quebec police to investigate the report and lay charges if necessary.

"The whole reason why these conditions were imposed on Karla Homolka was because the court was satisfied on the evidence before it that she represented a threat to public safety,'' Danson said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

"These conditions were necessary to minimize or at least reduce that risk."

If convicted of a breach, Homolka could face a prison term of up to 24 months.

Did Karla break the rules?

Lapointe, 39, told the Sun he hired Homolka to work in his hardware store on Aug. 10 to either help rehabilitate her or expose her lies.

He now says that he believes Homolka has broken at least two of her parole conditions, and he plans to take the apparent condition breaches to prosecutors in Ontario and Quebec.

Under Section 810 of the Criminal Code, a Quebec judge has placed a series of conditions on Homolka that include not associating with known criminals.

Lapointe said that Homolka asked him to help her find temporary refuge for the son of a convicted killer.

She also allegedly told him that she has cooked meals for her boyfriend in Laval. Lapointe believes that boyfriend is imprisoned killer Jean-Paul Gerbet, currently housed in a minimum security Laval correctional institute.

However, Correctional Service Canada spokeswoman Michele Pilon-Santilli says she's checked with the prison and the allegation isn't true. Prisoners cannot bring food into the prison from the outside.

She also says Homolka has not been near the jail.

Gerbet is serving a life sentence for the murder of his estranged girlfriend Cathy Carretta in 1998.

Lapointe says Homolka broke another condition of her release that stipulates she not be left alone in position of authority with anyone under age 16 when he unknowingly left her alone with his sons, aged 9 and 14.

Homolka, 35, was released from prison on July 4, after serving her full 12-year sentence for manslaughter for her role in the deaths of French, 15, and Mahaffy, 14.

Homolka in Longueuil

A newspaper reported Saturday that Homolka was living in Longueuil, about a 10-minute drive south of the island of Montreal.

In an interview with CTV on Tuesday, Longueuil ice cream store owner Jean-Claude St-Cyr reported seeing Homolka come in for breakfast.

"She comes here for breakfast a couple of times," he said.

"I don't know first time who it is. But after two days, three days, a couple of customers said 'Hey, I think it's Karla'."

Longueuil resident Fang Zhou Bian said he didn't know Homolka was in the neighbourhood for about two months.

"And it gives me a little chill, yeah, to imagine that she was here all the time."

It's unclear if Homolka is still in the area.

Pictures published in the Toronto Sun on Tuesday showed Homolka with a different hairstyle than the one she had just hours after her release from jail when she appeared on RDI, Radio-Canada's all-news French station.

In the recent pictures, she had shorter, red hair. She was also shown with a dog.
