WEST LINN, Ore. -- A convicted sex offender arrested for allegedly stalking a female Nordstrom employee and who police say created profiles of other possible stalking victims has a profile of his own on MySpace.

Timothy Allen Cole, 34, secretly spied on as many as 30 women, monitoring their movements and gathering personal information including addresses and license plate numbers, according to police.

Cole, who is the divorced father of a 7-year-old girl, graduated from Marshall High School in 1990, according to his profile on the popular social networking Web site.

As media interest in the stalking case continued for the second day in a row Friday, one message posted by a friend Friday afternoon criticized Cole, presumably for his alleged crime.

“In the simplest of words and the nicest ones I can muster up right now you are a total idiot!! That is all I am going to say right now! You are a total idiot!!” the message reads.

The sex offender and accused stalker portrays himself as an ordinary guy.

“I'm a pretty easy-going guy that loves having fun and meeting new people. I love sports. I prefer playing them, but also enjoy watching them as well,” Cole states in his profile. It shows Cole is an Oregon Ducks fan whose heroes include "Batman, Superman, Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, He-Man, the Thundercats and the Transformers."

Cole lists his occupation as “Revenue Assurance.”
