Revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold. However, sometimes it comes with a side of warm porn, which, as we all know, makes just about any scheme that much better. Until you get caught, of course.

Meet 34 year-old Robert Dale Esparza Jr., whose son attended Gateway Pointe Elementary School. At some point during the year, the boy had his iPod confiscated while on school property. Despite claims to the contrary, Assistant Principal Frank Hendricsen says he didn’t take the item in question, which, to this date, has never been recovered. Hostility and vengeance soon took root.

Angry that someone would steal his boy’s expensive gadget, let alone the assistant principal of the school he attends, Esparza decided to strike back against the alleged thief. Instead of taking his case to the school board or, better yet, the local authorities, the father set out to drag Hendricsen’s name through the virtual mud.

In May of 2011, Esparza created a fake profile on a certain pornographic website under Frank Hendricsen’s name. Using photos posted to the school’s official website, as well as random images of naked individuals pulled from various naughty websites, Esparza began to flesh out the fake account. He even went as far as to chat with individuals on the porn site in hopes that someone might stumble across them while searching for the principal on Google. By the time everything was said and done, nearly 20 pornographic videos were attached to the bogus profile.

The account was discovered once Hendricsen applied for a job at an Arizona school. After being offered the position, a parent did a quick search for the poor guy online, only to stumble across the porn site in the process. As a result, the offer was withdrawn, and Hendricsen was humiliated.

Police were contacted, IPs were traced, and the trail eventually led back to Esparza’s work computer. The offending profile has since been removed from the site.

“I think the police did a good job at their investigation,” Superintendent Denise Birdwell explained. “There are other ways to handle things when parents are disgruntled. We’re here to speak to parents when they feel their children have not been dealt with appropriately.”

Esparza was convicted of computer fraud and taking the identity of another. Sentencing is currently scheduled for June 5th.
