A CANADIAN MAN has admitted creating a website to “destroy” his ex-wife’s life.
Patrick Fox created a website in Desiree Capuano’s name in January 2014.
The page contains personal details and private photos, and accuses her of being a stripper, drug addict and child abuser. It also features her mugshot and a photo of her medical marijuana card.
In an interview with CBC News, Patrick Fox said: “I fully admit it doesn’t look good, yes. I don’t deny at all that it would make me seem like a real – I’m trying to think of a word that wouldn’t be prohibited on television.
It would make me look like a very nasty person for sure, but when people then consider the things that she has done and the reasons why I’m so mean to her I think that mitigates some of the nastiness.
He told the interviewer he would do everything he could to “ruin her life and destroy her”.
The New York Daily News reports that their feud began in 2002, over a custody battle for their son (now 15 years old).
Fox was deported to Canada in 2009 and spent two years in prison for perjury after lying and telling the court he was an American citizen. He has rarely seen his son since then.
‘A very sick person’
Capuano told the Daily News a co-worker informed her of the site. She says she has tried to have the website taken down.
He’s told everybody he will not stop, all of this will not make him stop. There’s no law to tell him he’s got to.
She said Arizona authorities have told her there is nothing they could do about the site as it falls under freedom of speech.
Her boyfriend James Pendleton said: “He’s obviously a very sick person and he’s transferring a lot of hate towards her, and it’s scary.”
CBC reports that in December 2015, an Arizona judge issued a protective order that stopped Fox from sending Capuano abusive emails — but did not order the website be taken down.
Fox, who recently changed his name from Richard Riess, also admitted to informing their 15-year-old son of his plan to hire someone to have sex with his Capuano in order to get intimate photos of them together to post on the site.
He said his son does not respect or love his mother, and described his actions as “open and honest parenting”.
Fox also told his son he would have “no qualms” about shooting Capuano if it weren’t illegal.
He said he might take the site down if his ex-wife became “destitute and homeless”, or died. He denied this comment was a threat.

Any chance of an update on concerned citizen millionaire banker brother of FG TD who you claimed yesterday was a non political small business owner? No didn’t think so.
Good aul Hugh deleted my comment yesterday as I outed him. Good man Hugh.
*yawn*
Neal what’s yawn about this story, it was plastered all over the media yesterday that’s he was a small business man who was apolitical. He was lying about both these issues, he was the CEO for a banking fund and he is the brother of ex FG TD, Seymour Crawford.
Nothing yawn about it. Downright deceitful!!
I am outraged!
Can we have additional reporting done on your article regarding Mary Lou and this concerned citizen from yeaterday please. This is what you need to be covering not some elitist boarding school in the US.
Exactly.
What we need is a witch hunt against the private citizen who dared to criticise SF.
We need to know his name, his family history, his occupation and as many details of his personal life as possible.
We need to show people that dissent will not be tolerated.
We need to print his name as often as possible to try to intimidate others into silence.
WE NEED TO SHOW – IN CAPS LOCK – THAT WE ARE A BUNCH OF SCREAMING WHINGING BABIES WHO ARE CHRONICALLY INCAPABLE OF RESPONDING TO CRITICISM WITHOUT ASSASSINATING THE CHARACTER OF THE PERSON CRITICISING OUR POLICIES.
That’ll show ‘em.
Calm down ffs you will give yourself an ulcer. Politics is a dirty game and this was up there in the top five but SF are no strangers to doing the odd dirty trick.
A private citizen expressing an opinion publicly is not a dirty trick, Donna.
Printing his name, occupation, background and – most disgustingly – family details online IS a dirty trick.
It sends a very clear message of intimidation. “Dare to criticise us, and our fanatics will expose you”.
Shameful.
Are you saying he just happened to be walking by at that time? Did he not seek her out to confront her? Is he a FG supporter? Connected to FG?
I’ve no idea, Donna.
He could be the worst ***** in all of Christendom for all I know.
But what I do know is shooting the messenger, playing the man and not the ball and refusing to engage in any discussions or debates with someone who disagrees with you paints SF supporters in a very bad light.
Ad hominem attacks make SF supporters look like whinging toddlers.
Why not point out where he was wrong?
Try to convince us where his argument was weak?
Show us that there is a better way?
Spot on Brinster. A knee-capping will be next.
Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t vote SF no matter what they promised. Your man was a bit of a knobend. Mary loo is like Adams all talk and nothing else just the same old mantra.
Btinster , do you really think that Hugh would report the truth , that Concerned Citizen is actually Concerned Hedgefund Manager and FG TD’s brother ? It’s above his (FG) pay grade.
two weeks in a row, I won’t get my head out the door
3 in a row and you qualify to write articles on here.
Lucinda Creighton will be watching you next week. Locked up for life if you get three!
a whole article, now I’m really going to try
Richard , it’s a trick to quiten you down.They did the same to Captain Adebayor , haven’t heard from him since. Time to change your moniker from Richard Cynical to Richard Compliant.
Ah Captain A had some great comments , very witty .
That “concerned citizen” was a dirty trick by fg,labour. They will pay for it in GE.
Yeah – and hijacking every other story because someone dared to criticise Mary Lou doesn’t make you look like a whinging, screaming toddler at all.
Maybe you could try to defend the policies, rather than attack the messenger?
His Brown Thomas leather gloves and blue scarf kind of gave it away for me.
Id like to see the journo covering that fake FG supporter who went on the attack at Mary Lou ….come on Hugh
I will not be voting FG after that episode yesterday. If you can’t get votes fairly then you don’t deserve them.
If he was a plant,it’s another own goal by FG..but in fairness to ML..she engaged with him once he said he wasn’t a journalist..
Mary Lou engaged and fair play to her. It’s the SF activists who screamed blue must and immediately started the witch hunt that I have the issue with. Demanding to know who he was, what’s his family history, publishing his name for dating to speak his mind. Whinging toddlers the lot of them.
*Blue murder
The shinnerbots don’t like it up ‘em! Been a bad few days on the campaign trail, Jorry making a fool of himself with Sean Duignan….sounds like an email went out from IRA HQ this morning saying “Attack every comments board you can find”. It’s actually very funny to see.
I notice Eugene hasn’t commented so he must be still sleeping off his hangover !
have your say
