MySpace Contact Leads To Rape Charges

Police believe there may be more victims:

A 29-year-old Santa Cruz, California man has been arrested after police allege he forced a underage girl that he had met on MySpace to have sex with him.

Edgar Atilano Silva, who police say lied about his age online, met the alleged victim in 2007 and according to investigators, forced her to engage in sexual activity with him.

Silva, who was arrested last week, was on probation at the time of his arrest. He was book in jail on charges of suspicion of rape and statutory rape.

Because authorities believe there may have been other victims, anyone who may know more about this case or Silva is asked to contact the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Office at (831) 454-2311.
