The Burnaby man convicted of criminal harassment for operating a “revenge website” targeting his ex-wife was back in court on Friday.
Patrick Fox was arrested Thursday by the Burnaby RCMP.
He’s charged with breaching a probation order and is potentially facing three additional counts of breach of a probation order, police said.
Fox initially created the website in 2001 after his marriage with Desiree Capuano, who lives in Arizona, fell apart.

He was convicted in June 2017 of criminal harassment and unlawful possession of a firearm in a jury trial in B.C. Supreme Court.
The court heard that he had used a website loaded with sensitive personal information and salacious allegations, blog posts and threatening emails — many of which were copied to the couple’s son — to harass Capuano.

One of Fox’s emails read to the court stated: “The singular role for the rest of my life is to destroy your life.”
Fox’s defence argued that he and his ex were involved in a nasty game in which they taunted each other by email.
