Sex Offenders On MySpace Arrested

Now here is some news that makes me smile.

Seven convicted sex offenders with profiles on MySpace.com have been arrested in what Texas officials said was the country’s first large-scale crackdown of registered offenders who use the social networking Web site.

The men were arrested in Houston, Austin, Round Rock, and Glenn Heights during a two-week operation by the Texas Attorney General’s Cyber Crimes and Fugitive units. They were picked up after MySpace.com released the names of offenders with online profiles to the state Attorney General’s Office, which had issued a subpoena for the site’s subscriber information.

Drop them down a hole.
