MySpace Contact Leads To Arrest

Parents of alleged victim credited by police:

California--A 24-year-old man was arrested yesterday after he allegedly attempted to meet a 12-year-old girl using MySpace.

Maciej Wieslaw Lata, of Chico, was apprehended by officers after an investigation revealed that he had been making "inappropriate" advances to the young girl through her profile.

Police then took over the account of the girl and ultimately snagged their suspect.

The parents of the young minor are being credited by officers for the arrest of Lata, as they are the ones who had initially contacted authorities after monitoring her MySpace page.
