[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 155360, member: 1498"] No police are involved. These are federal charges; investigation was done by the FBI. The case was filed in Los Angeles, the people all live in the St. Louis area. And MySpace is considered to be as much a victim of any crime as the child was, maybe more. From [url]http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/05-15-2008/0004815047&EDATE=[/url] (bolding mine) [I] "This adult woman allegedly used the Internet to target a young teenage girl, with horrendous ramifications," said U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien. [B]"After a thorough investigation, we have charged Ms. Drew with criminally accessing MySpace and violating rules established to protect young, vulnerable people.[/B] Any adult who uses the Internet or a social gathering Web site to bully or harass another person, particularly a young teenage girl, needs to realize that their actions can have serious consequences." To become a member of MySpace, individuals are required to submit registration information -- including name and date of birth -- and have to agree to certain terms of service that regulate their use of the Web site. Among other things, MySpace terms of service require prospective members to provide truthful and accurate registration information; to refrain from using any information obtained from MySpace services to harass, abuse or harm other people; to refrain from soliciting personal information from anyone under 18; to refrain from promoting information that they know is false or misleading; and to refrain from posting photographs of other people without their consent. The indictment alleges that Drew and her co-conspirators violated all of those provisions.[/I] [/QUOTE]
