BURNABY (NEWS 1130) — A Burnaby man who was convicted of criminally harassing his ex-wife through a revenge website is facing additional charges after the site went up online again.

Patrick Fox, 46, has been charged with two counts of breach of probation and is due in court next week.

The revenge website resurfaced online Aug. 19, the same day he was in court to deal with a previous charge of failing to take down the website.

On the site, Fox composed a long letter to Attorney General David Eby. The post said Fox did not intend to abide by the one condition he had upon release of his latest prison term — to take down the website.

“They can lock me up for the rest of my life, but I will never take down the website,” Fox wrote.

In 2017, he was found guilty of harassing his ex-wife through threatening emails and the website. He spent less than two years in jail after the conviction.

At the time, he was also banned from using the Internet unless for the purpose of employment or sending out emails.

Fox was then charged for the same offence last year.
