PHOENIX – A Phoenix man, Charles Rodrick, has been indicted by a state Grand Jury for obtaining information from the National Predator Database’s site and posting it on a site created by Rodrick as part of a fraud scheme.
Roderick was indicted for Fraudulent Schemes and Artifices, Illegally Conducting an Enterprise, Computer Tampering, and Harassment.
Rodrick’s co-defendants, Brent Oesterblad and Sarah Shea were also charged in a scheme where they allegedly harassed sex offenders, demanding that they pay for removing their names from a website.
The indictment alleges between August 2011 and November 2015, Rodrick, Oesterblad, and Shea, received payments by victims in exchange for the removal of their profile from Rodrick’s website(s) but then failed to do so or otherwise republished the victims’ profiles on other websites Rodrick owned.
Additionally, Rodrick, Oesterblad and Shea are accused of harassing additional victims (not in the National Predator Database) by posting fraudulent sex offender profiles on Rodrick’s websites.
