MySpace Reports More Sex Offenders (+7000 in May)

MySpace has submitted another list of sex offenders to authorities. In response to a subpoena by New Jersey Attorney General, MySpace handed over information on sex offenders that joined since May 21st.

This is in addition to 7000 sex offenders whose information was released around May 21st. It is expected that an investigation will commence shortly on MySpace members (and sex offenders) residing in New Jersey who may have violated their parole or probation terms.

“MySpace is a treasure trove of potential victims for child predators,” North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said sometime back.

This brings back the fundamental question. Is MySpace safe for impressionable teenagers? I get some strange requests from MySpace members everyday making me often wonder about their mental capacity. Such teenagers can be easy target for sex offenders.
