Los Angeles – The Los Angeles Times is reporting a federal grand jury has issued a subpoena to MySpace.com in a probe stemming from the suicide of a Missouri teenager.
Thirteen-year-old Megan Meier of suburban St. Louis received cruel messages on the social networking site and hanged herself in late 2006.
Citing unidentified sources, the newspaper says federal prosecutors in Los Angeles are considering charging a woman in the girl's neighborhood with defrauding MySpace by creating a false account.
The woman, Lori Drew, has denied creating the account but acknowledged being aware of it. She also has denied sending any messages to Megan or being aware of the unkind messages.
Prosecutors in Missouri did not charge anyone because they could not find any laws that were broken.
