Teen suing MySpace

In the first lawsuit we’ve seen against MySpace by a teen user, a 14-year-old in Texas is suing MySpace for $30 million, saying she was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old she "met" on the site, the Associated Press reports. According to MTV News, the Austin girl “alleges that Pete Solis, a 19-year-old from Buda, Texas, obtained her phone number after pretending to be a high school senior and a member of his school's football team in his MySpace profile.” MTV News has more details. In their case against MySpace, the girl and her family say the site doesn't do enough to protect underage members. Solis and MySpace’s parent company News Corp. are also defendants in the case. In its response, MySpace said it's "committed to the safety of its members" and encourages teens to use the Web safely.
