Blogger Sought for Posts on Georgia Teen Sex

An AP newswire article, via USA Today, reports that:

Authorities are searching for whoever posted a long list and description of supposed sexual encounters between dozens of high school students on the online networking site MySpace.com.

Oconee County Sheriff's officials said they were investigating who posted the gossip about North Oconee High School students Sept. 1-9. Since gossip isn't a crime, the sheriff's report lists the offense as distributing obscene materials to minors. The list describes sexual encounters and could be accessed by people younger than 18.

[Officials] said that MySpace gave him the e-mail address of the person who created the site, but that it was an anonymous Yahoo account. [Officials] said [they] would subpoena BellSouth, the Internet service provider used to create the e-mail address, to try to determine who paid for the Internet service.
