Attorney General Roy Cooper is turning up the heat on MySpace.
In a letter co-signed by attorneys general from Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania, he demanded that the social networking site turn over the names of all registered sex offenders using it.
They reference an October story in Wired magazine, which found 744 registered sex offenders on the site, and data from Sentinel Tech Holding, which is rooting out offenders for MySpace:
It is our understanding that the data from Sentinel reveals that thousands of known registered sex offenders have been confirmed as MySpace members.
Cooper has also testified in favor of a state bill that would require minors using MySpace get their parents' permission.
