Sexual Predators Exploit Xbox 360 to Target Children
ChannelCincinnati.com reports that Xbox Live has become sexual predators' new playground as the online gaming service for the Xbox 360 allows pedophiles to lurk online and communicate with children through headsets and instant messages. WLWT Cincinnati reports:

The FBI has investigated cases in southern Ohio, where sexual predators have used game systems such as Xbox 360 to target children.

“A pedophile is talking to a child, they are gaining their trust and understanding, and then tries to engage in that next level, which is taking them from the cyber world to the physical world,” said Douglas Roden, an FBI forensic examiner.

Investigators said a 30-year-old Dayton woman used an Xbox 360 game system to send nude photos of herself to a 16-year-old Arizona boy, and then convinced him to send her nude photos of himself.

Authorities said the risk is not limited to Xbox 360, because Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 also contain some online capabilities.
