It's a cruel world. And the horrible trauma you suffered is tragic, but other people can't be held responsible for your lies & poor judgment - teenage girl or not.
The girl, identified as Julie Doe in court papers, was 13 when she created a MySpace profile in 2005. MySpace requires users to be at least 14, but the girl misrepresented herself as 18 years old. She was 14 when the 19-year-old male contacted her through MySpace and corresponded for several weeks before he allegedly sexually assaulted her during a meeting in Travis County, Texas, in May 2006.
A federal judge dismissed the $30 million suit in February 2007, rejecting the family's claim that MySpace has a legal duty to protect its young users from sexual predators.
No word from the court on the legal consequences to the parents for not properly monitoring their child against this wackjob on the internet.
