Girl raped after MySpace meeting

"MySpace is again at the centre of a row over online safety, after a court in Chicago heard that a girl of 14 was gang-raped and left unconscious in an alley after a real life meeting arranged via the social networking site.

Two high school students, named as Angel Alverio, 18, and Tony Pacheco, 17, have been charged with one count each of criminal sexual assault, the Chicago Sun Times reports. A 15-year old was charged with the same offence on Monday in a juvenile court, and fourth suspect is still at large.

The court heard that Alverio and Pacheco made contact with the girl through the MySpace site. After meeting, they allegedly drove her to a house in the 4800 block of West Walton. According to the Chicago Sun Times they all started drinking and playing video games.

Chicago Police officer JoAnn Taylor told the court that a large quantity of alcohol was consumed by the group, and that the girl "became ill, and that is when she was sexually assaulted multiple times by the offenders".

Assistant State Attorney John Henning told the court that after the alleged assault "the victim awoke and found herself abandoned in an alley", where she was found by a passer-by.

Ross Rice, spokesman for the FBI's Chicago office, told the paper: "We've seen a steady increase in the use of the internet in a number of different crimes - especially in the sexual exploitation of minors."

If nothing else, this case highlights that screening for age does not guarantee safety. The same precautions as ever apply: if you are going to meet up with someone in real life whom you have met online, do so in a public place, with a friend, and make sure someone knows what your plans are."

Of course they are real. No one is pretending there is no danger.

holy shit!!! aids is real too!!!! EVERYONE!!!!! STOP HAVING SEX!!!!!

I had a friend who went on a site I visited, and started passing out the exact town I'm from. I never give away more than my time zone, my birthday, and sometimes my first name. My podcast's Myspace also has pictures of me.

I always think seminars in school get it wrong. They're all like "Yo. We're hip. Don't give out personal information" when it would get the point across better if they just listed 500 people who got raped over the internet and what information they gave away. Fear is more powerful than music videos.

We had this really stupid one a couple years ago that was hosted by the national guard, and in between stories about people who make good choices and succeed they would have all this propaganda about how the heroic troops of the national guard are making our country proud, and we should all sign up. Then it went to a clip from Bruce Almighty for no apparent reason. It was incredibly poorly put together.

But I digress...

Her own fault.

Most of the time if someone is raped or attacked by someone online, it's due to their own naive and stupid behavior. And of course the parents not taking enough of an active role.

I'm not a myspace person. Never got into it. And I don't give out information about myself to people I haven't known for awhile. Hell... I don't even like posting my pictures.

Yet all of this can be blamed on the young... Stupidity at it's finest.

Dun told her.

I have no pity for someone who puts themselves in that type of danger and then goes on to sue something like myspace.

Myspace didn't drop you off at the location you were to meet, myspace didn't encourage you to arrange a meeting, it didn't tell you to get into the car with strangers, and it sure as hell didn't encourage you to drink in their presence.

You acted like an idiot, put yourself in danger, and suffered consequences. I think people need to stop playing the victim when they're so clearly not.

I agree with you on this. It was reckless of her to do this.

Wow, we all agree. Parents annoy the hell out of me, on my street they allow their kids to play in the street unsupervised and they are really young. Parents need to be more resposible in this day and age with all the dangers out there.

I think part of the blame has to hit Myspace. As well as the parents.

Why blame myspace at all? There are disclaimers throughout the whole site. Thats like blaming a car company just because you got hit by their brand of car. People need to be responsible for their actions.

Myspace in particular isn't the blame, it just happened to become full of rapists and idiots. Still, just cause back alleys aren't to blame for muggings, doesn't mean we should all walk down them.

Same, but it still is in no way Myspaces fault, if anything it's the parents for not monitoring their children and teaching them better.

the only thing nice about myspace are the song features.

I disliked Myspace before it got big. I just didn't like the whole atmosphere and the cheap look, which is still maintains.

For various reasons. Even before the rise of the Internet, people looked for walking friends, driving partners, went on blind dates, etc. The only way to stay truly safe is to not meet new people, period.

If you want to meet someone face to face, there are measures you can take to set up that meeting safely.

Um, no. Myspace is not at ALL to fault if someone decides to act like a ****ing retard on there. They can't help it if people decide to use the site as a place to hook up and end up making really bad decisions. The site did not make the girl be stupid enough to meet up with people she didn't know without a parent or other person that she knew and trusted with her.

And they know if a person is lying about their age how? The point is the fault lies in the parents for not monitoring their children nor teaching them better and the child itself for being so naive and stupid.

There's no room for debate here, and repeating stupid beliefs won't make room.

If you're 14 and you meet a stranger, you're dumb. It's not a matter of MySpace being at fault, MySpace isn't creating predators. If you allow yourself to be easy prey, you're to blame.

I've met up with people I've known for ages exclusively online, because I'm not an idiot and I've had proof that they are who they say they are before hand, I'm also old enough to realise precautions.

Anything else is irresponsible.

Besides, online dangers are better than real life dangers.

Ah, he's one of them is he.

Part of the driving force behind my opinion was partly because i despise Myspace. And also the fact that we live in a society where stupidity ensalves us. I mean obese people are sueing McDonald's for their tainted fat, and even worse, these people are earning money for being victims of a travesty they are to blamed, so I think that even if it seems retarded, Myspace can still be blamed.

Like I said, human stupidity will surely find a way to blame the entire interweb...

To all the people who thought seeing people on-line in real life

I hate to tell you all I told you so about meeting people on-line is safe but.... YEAAA, IN YO FACE F*CKIN' B*TCH!

I love when people say things without reading a damn thing said in the thread.

THey already have my friend. At least in their minds they have. Myspace is the only blameless party in this mess.

If everybody keeps complaining about Myspace and getting rapped and all that sh!t, why don't they just close MySpace or people don't use it.

They shouldn't close myspace since they did nothing wrong.

You do know there's a difference between two older, cautious people meeting in real life and predators tricking young teenagers into meeting in real life?

The point is no internet website should be held responsible for lax parenting that ends up getting a child into danger.

If a fast food joint can be blamed and sued for causing obesity then Myspace can be taken down a peg or two. I just despise it.

Yeah I can understand hating the site itself but they have no fault in this at all.

When AC stops posting you know there is no more water in the well.

You'd have a point if the lawsuit against McDonalds that was filed because it "made someone fat" wasn't tossed out because it was solely the fault of the person who decided to eat McD's every single day.

Well if she was silly enough to go to the man's house.

Blaming a service because its users abuse is wrong and little more than another attempt to shred ourselves of responsibility for our own actions. As I have said, the real world is just as dangerous and in it is far more likely for a child to get kidnapped in the park than on the Internet.

That lawsuit didn't go all the way through?

Nope. It didn't go anywhere at all. It was thrown out immediately.

Thank God...someone in the world still has common sense.

Yes, and here comes people talking about taking down Myspace, not because for the raped teens, its because they just hate the site.
