In 1992, Larré was convicted in Saskatchewan of physically abusing children in his care. He was acquitted on 9 of 11 charges, and obtained a pardon in 1997 and does not have a criminal record.
Dr. Larre v. College of Psychologists of BC
In June 2006 the Inquiry Committee of the College of Psychologists of British Columbia commenced an investigation into Larré concerning his fitness and competence to practice psychology. The College appointed an American psychologist as an assessor. In September this psychologist submitted a report recommending that Larré cease to practice as a psychologist. In November the College approved the recommendation and invited Larré to resign from the College or to consent to the cancellation of his registration with the College. Larré refused to resign or to consent to the cancellation of his registration. On November 20, 2006, the Inquiry Committee suspended Larré's registration, noting "that there are serious public protection concerns and an immediate risk to the public".
Larré appealed his suspension to the Supreme Court of British Columbia. On February 16, 2007, the court dismissed the appeal.
