Jury hears B.C. man’s online communication constitutes criminal harassment
VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man’s online communications show he criminally harassed his ex-wife and his hatred of her was so intense that he used their teenage son as a pawn, a Crown attorney argued Monday.
Mark Myhre told a B.C. Supreme Court jury that Patrick Fox’s tactics included threatening emails, blog postings and a website aimed at emotionally ruining the life of Desiree Capuano, who lives in Arizona.
Fox is charged with one count each of criminal harassment and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Myhre outlined 10 ways in which Fox’s actions constituted criminal harassment of Capuano, saying Fox falsely maligned his former wife as a white supremacist, a child abuser and a drug user.
