A judge has dismissed a lawsuit against MySpace filed by the family of a 13 year old girl who says she was sexually assaulted by a 19 year old man she met online.  The $30 million lawsuit accused the site of having no measures to protect children who use it.  The lawsuit also named MySpace's parent company, News Corp., and the 19 year old, whose criminal case has not yet gone to trial.
