Arizona operators of sex offender websites arrested on fraud, harassment charges
[FAC Note: this guy is no stranger to us. He’s finally getting what he deserves, hopefully]
Sex offenders were Charles Rodrick’s business. For years, the Arizona website owner targeted people who had been arrested for sex crimes and demanded payments for removal of online profiles.
When they complained or resisted, Rodrick responded with promises of greater exposure and humiliation, according to computer, court and other records.
His online intimidation campaign expanded after 2011 to include perceived critics: a judge, multiple lawyers, his ex-wife, a defense contractor and an Arizona Republic reporter.
On Tuesday, federal and state authorities arrested Rodrick at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport after he stepped off a flight from Central America.
Of coarse there is going to use the registry for personal gain . The registry is like laying a pile of hundred dollar bills on the ground with a sign that says. “ please don’t take any”
3 verses from the bible come to mind
Proverbs 22:8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, and the rod of his fury will fail.
Job 4:8-9 My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same. A breath from God destroys them. They vanish in a blast of his anger.
Proverbs 1:31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
It’s not just fraud and harassment, it’s extortion as well. 18 USC 1951.
Great! I hope they throw the book at this SCUM BAG!
What sort of human being takes advantage of a terrible situation where people are already suffering more than most will in 100 lifetimes!
Well, I took advantage of my victim who was in a terrible situation and she suffered at my hands more than anyone should.
I hope Charles Rodrick is treated with the harshness that he deserves and more importantly, I hope he learns his lesson. I also hope that even he doesn’t experience the horrors that we as persons required to register live with.
Let us all hope he does not re-offend.
I’ve tried repeatedly to reach out to FAC without any response. I wanted to let you know about this yesterday.
I have started keeping updates on courtkey.com. I have a lot more information that I will be sharing soon. I am shocked how few people seem concerned about this issue given how many people were hurt by the activities of Rodrick, Oesterblad and Shea.
Please be aware, I will be spending a lot of time working on the new website to share information as-it-happens.
Great news –
That should have read 10 years after end of sanctions.
It would be amazing if this prat actually gets punished. Will be interesting to see what happens, but the pessimist in me isn’t terribly hopeful.

This guy has a serious mental problem.
Racketeering? Possible RICO Act? Yeah he’s in it deep. Outstanding lol.
Time wounds all heels!
If justice was done the government would be sentenced as accomplices. The government not only provides the tools, often retroactively, but also makes it very lucrative and encouraging by doing simar schemes themselves to profit off those they targeted.
I wonder what the recidivism rate for these crooks are. They must be exceedingly high. Especially since he’s been able to get away with it for 10 years.
I would expect justice here but its crazy redneck gun crazy Maricopa County! All he needs is a heavy defense of “I was serving as as Public Servant to keep America safe” bullshit and he will probably get off.
In 2009 I challenged Florida’s public record Sunshine Law and added Google to my complaint. The FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement called, directed me to shut up or else! I gave in.
Constant harassment and today fake websites, phishing and those Warrant phone calls are all part of getting rid of the registrant politically.
