VANCOUVER — The former wife of a Vancouver-area man accused of criminally harassing her says she hopes the legal process he’s about to go through will give her enough time to change her identity and hide.

Desiree Capuano, who lives in Arizona, said she knows Patrick Fox won’t stay behind bars forever and she must do what she can to protect herself while he is in custody.

“The only chance I have of having a normal life is to disappear,” she said, her voice choked with emotion.

Fox is facing three charges, including criminal harassment and two firearms offences, and appeared briefly in a Vancouver court on Tuesday afternoon.

Wearing a red jump suit and with a greying beard and side-swept hair, Fox crossed his arms and stared at observers from the prisoner’s box.

His bail hearing was rescheduled to Wednesday.

The Burnaby resident admitted to having created a website aimed at destroying Capuano’s reputation.
