The website has no way of verifying the age of members
Social networking website MySpace.com plans to introduce restrictions on how adults contact teenagers on the site.
The changes aim to make it more difficult for users more than 18 years old to befriend 14 and 15 year olds that they did not previously know.

A 14-year-old girl in the US is currently suing the site after she said she was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old who she met on MySpace.

The website says the new restrictions are unrelated to the case.
