B.C. man Patrick Fox aims to 'destroy' ex-wife with revenge website
B.C. man's revenge website targeting ex-wife 'ruining' Arizona mom's life
Patrick Fox says he wants "to destroy" his ex-wife with an online campaign from his Burnaby, B.C., home.
He created a website in her name full of vulgar content and demeaning images and purporting to describe details of her sex life. He also posted about her partners, friends and mother — updating the site dozens of times since 2014.
Desiree Capuano, who lives near Tucson, Ariz., with the couple's son, told CBC News a co-worker first alerted her to the site, after the URL was emailed to all of her contacts on the business social network LinkedIn.
The site calls her a drug addict, a child abuser and a white supremacist. She says it has harmed her ability to find work.
A "completely enraged and mortified" Capuano has fought to get the site shut down, appealing to U.S. and Canadian police and the internet provider to help and asking Fox to let go of what she calls his "sick fixation."
ere has got to be a way to take that down," Capuano said. "He told me once that his ultimate goal was to make me commit suicide. I won't let him win."
'[I promised] I'd devote the rest of my life to doing everything I could, legally of course, to ruin her life and destroy her.'–Patrick Fox (a.k.a. Richard Riess)
Experts say there are a growing number of victims of online revenge attacks, where damaging intimate and personal content is posted.
Fox is defiant. He told CBC News nothing short of Capuano's death or "when she is destitute and homeless" will prompt him to take down the site.
"She ruined both of our lives," said Fox, who blames Capuano for taking his son and having him deported to Canada.
Fox arrested in July, no charges laid
Capuano took her complaints to local sheriffs in Arizona, the FBI, the hosts of the website and several lawyers, but says she could not afford the legal fees to fight her case in civil court.
In December 2015, an Arizona judge issued a protective order that stopped Fox from sending her emails — but did not order the website be taken down.
Fox's site and the couple's email exchanges were also investigated by Burnaby RCMP. In July 2015, Fox was arrested and the RCMP recommended a charge of criminal harassment. The Crown did not approve the charge and Fox was released.
