Let me get this straight...they are the victims AND the criminals?

AP and WLNE: Third teenage girl charged in child pornography case

NORTH SMITHFIELD, R.I. - A teenage girl has been charged with conspiracy in a child pornography case involving two other teenagers.

The 16-year-old from Lincoln was arrested and charged with conspiracy.

She's accused of taking explicit photos of two friends -- 19-year-old Elizabeth Muller of North Smithfield and a 16-year-old girl from Lincoln whose name hasn't been released. The photos were later posted on their MySpace Web sites.

The name of the third girl, who was charged Wednesday, also has not been released.

The other two teens were arrested earlier this week and charged with child pornography.

I'll bet you $20 MySpace gets shut down within two years, although it isn't too smart to bet against Rupert Murdoch.
