Cooper to MySpace

Attorney General Roy Cooper wants to prevent sex offenders from targeting children on MySpace.

In a letter co-signed by attorneys general from Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania, he demanded the social networking site turn over the list of registered sex offenders it has found.

After a Wired magazine story revealed 744 registered sex offenders on the site in 2006, MySpace teamed up with Sentinel Tech Holding to root them out.

Cooper and the others want to see the list and have other questions: How many sex offenders have been found? What steps has MySpace taken to remove the profiles? Have they contacted local police?
