News Corp.'s MySpace said on Wednesday a federal court dismissed a negligence lawsuit filed by the family of a teenage girl who was a victim of an adult sex predator she met on the popular Internet social network.

Judge Sam Sparks of the U.S. District Court for the Western district of Texas granted MySpace's motion to dismiss charges for negligence and fraud and negligent misrepresentation.

MySpace separately faces several other lawsuits filed by families of teenage girl victims of predators on the service.
