Gilbert Paul Jordan is to appear in Victoria provincial court today to face two counts of breaching his probation.

A Vancouver sex offender, known as the boozing barber, Jordan had been in the company of at least seven women whose deaths were related to alcohol.

Jordan was released from jail on Feb. 6 after serving two-thirds of his sentence for trying to breach a court-ordered condition.

He began three years probation.

He was arrested in Vancouver Sunday for allegedly breaching his probation conditions of consuming alcohol and being with a woman while in possession of alcohol.

Jordan, who has been held in custody, is being brought back to Victoria to face the new charges because his probation order had been imposed by the Victoria court.

Crown counsel said it intends to seek his detention.

Jordan moved to Victoria in February 2000 and had several run-ins with police. In June 2000, he was charged with sexual assault, assault, negligence causing bodily harm and administering a noxious substance -- alcohol.

The incidents were alleged to have happened June 1 with a woman he met at the Douglas Hotel.

He walked out of jail on the Victoria charges Oct. 19 when the Crown stayed proceedings because there wasn't enough proof. But on Nov. 2, 2000, police found Jordan trying to drink with a woman at the Port Renfrew Hotel.

In May 2001, he was convicted of attempting to breach his court-ordered condition not to be in the company of a woman anywhere alcohol was being consumed.

He was sentenced to 15 months in jail, followed by three years probation with strict conditions.
