In game chat: Pedophile case

GamePolitics.com, a blog that tracks social and legislative developments in the videogame world, this week reports another case of alleged child harassment in game chat. It's the second I've seen reported (see "Teen exploited in online gaming"). "A 52-year-old man who helped manage the Green Berets, a competitive videogame clan, was busted by police in London, Ontario, following accusations that he solicited obscene pictures of [10-to-13-year-old] boys he recruited for the Green Berets' Counter-strike team," according to GamePolitics. He reportedly told them to lie about their age and used the Ventrilo game chat program to encourage the boys to send him nude photos, promising them computer gear and "clan leadership positions" in return (or getting kicked off the team if they didn't comply).
