Kenneth Ratte is a Canadian citizen, who has been called a "career criminal".[1] He has been convicted of over 60 crimes.

In 1991, he was identified as one of 34 convicts in custody in Canadian prisons who had been diagnosed with an AIDS infection.[2]

In 1991 guards, calling upon the terms of their union's contract, argued that Ratte should be kept in isolation, because his infection posed a risk to their health.[3]

Ratte argued that this segregation violated his rights.

In 2000, Ratte was convicted of attacking guards, and trying to infect them.[4]

CBC News reported that Ratte requested a longer sentence so he would be held in Federal custody, not Provincial custody. According to an article in the Canadian HIV/AIDS Policy and Law Review, he requested the longer sentence because he considered himself too dangerous to be held in Provincial custody.[5]

Ratte was escorted to court by four guards wearing body armour, gloves and protective eye-guards. Each guard was holding a leash attached to a collar.

In 2010, Ratte and two associates were convicted of a home invasion.[1] Ratte agreed to testify against Tracy L. Caron, a Kingston area woman, who was charged with trying to hire someone to hurt Clifford Richards. Richards was murdered on 26 October 2010, at which time Ratte was already in custody, but he testified she discussed hiring someone to hurt Richards before his apprehension.

In June 2013, Ratte attacked Omar Khadr shortly after Khadr had been transferred to a prison in Edmonton.[6]
