"These arrests are a stark reminder for parents whose children use social networking sites," Abbott said. "Each of the 14 convicted sex offenders was arrested for illegally using MySpace.com to establish an online presence. All Texans must remain vigilant about dangers posed by online sex predators."
Abbott added: "By sharing a user profile database with law enforcement, MySpace.com is providing critical information to law enforcement. Other social networking sites should follow MySpace.com's lead, partner with law enforcement, and help protect their online users from criminals who use the Internet to prey on children."
