Man Who Created Revenge Website to 'Destroy' Ex-Wife Charged With Criminal Harassment, Gun Offense
LatestA Canadian man who created a revenge website to terrorize his ex-wife has been arrested by U.S. border patrol agents and charged with criminal harassment and a firearms-related offense. Patrick Fox was arrested in Washington state after illegally crossing the border, CBC reported. His ex lives in Arizona and tells the news agency she is “more scared now than I have ever been in my entire life.”
Fox, whose birth name is Richard Riess, created the website nearly two years ago and has used it to harass, demean and defame his ex, Desiree Capuano. Among his many baseless-seeming charges are that she’s a stripper, a white supremacist, and an unfit mother. He told CBC he would keep the site up until Capuano is either dead or “destitute and homeless.” Emails posted on the site between Fox and his teenage son show him saying he would have “no qualms” about shooting and killing Capuano if it were legal. She says he has told her via email that his ultimate goal is to harass her into killing herself.
