Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot (pictured) has been the first Attorney General to go after convicted sex predators for having MySpace accounts.

AG Abbott has been cracking down aggressively on sexual offenders. In May, he subpoenaed MySpace.com and forced the site to release profiles of all registered sex offenders.

In June, police arrested seven sex offenders who have been convicted of indecent conduct with a child, and therefore violated their probation by having a profile on MySpace.

AG Abbot has charged that a MySpace account is no different than a school or playground or other gathering plce frequented by minors and to date, he’s been able to make that stick.

One conviction for a child sex offense should change a predator’s life forever – he/she forfeits their rights for the protection of other children.
