Men accused of having sex with minors they met online

TWO men have been arrested in Connecticut on allegations they had illegal sexual contact with minors they met through MySpace.com, a popular virtual hangout for children and teenagers.

Sonny Szeto, 22, of New York, used the site to meet an 11-year-old girl, while Stephen Letavec, 39, of Pennsylvania used it to meet a 14-year-old girl, federal authorities said.

US Attorney for Connecticut Kevin O’Connor said: “People with nefarious intentions exploit that technology and target our children.”
