MySpace has announced they have removed 90,000 sex offenders from its network for the past two years.

The social website has revealed that the 90,000 MySpace registered sex offenders are double that the estimates MySpace made last year of the sex offenders figures.

Now that list of sex offenders is being handed over to Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal after a subpoena.

MySpace proactive stance on child sex offenders began last year when it made a deal with 49 states on child protection.

That deal saw 36 per cent fewer registered sex offenders as claimed by MySpace.

The success in MySpace is the use of a software called Sentinal SAFE, where its member profiles are run against a database of more than 700,000 known sex offenders.
