Social network sites and inaccurate profiles - fraudulent behaviour?

This is a story from the US about a girl who killed herself after being dumped by her online boyfriend. It turns out the boyfriend wasn't a boy but the mother of a former friend of the girl - posing as a boy.

MySpace is domiciled in California, so an LA court has jurisdiction (MySpace being the victim in the case), and the prosecutors are looking for any law that was broken by the perp (heh, it's a US case so I'm using the appropriate lingo).

It seems the most likely action would be one for fraud - on the basis that the former friend's mother acted fraudulently towards MySpace in setting up an account with false details. If succesful it could ultimately lead to former friend's mother being responsible for girl's death. Whilst I seriously doubt it would get that far, it would be interesting to see if any charges are actually made - if there are I'll certainly be trying to remember to keep an eye on the trial....

And on a non-legal note, I was chatting to my mother last night and she was talking about MyFace. Which I initially thought was a Spoonerism, but turns out not to be.

Update -

I have found a different report which contains more details on the social aspects, but also explains how MySpace would be the victim. And here's the link.
