Level 1 sex offender charged with felony for having MySpace account

MIDDLEFIELD, N.Y. A 44-year-old registered sex offender from Otsego County was arrested last week for allegedly failing to notify authorities about his MySpace account.


James Andrew Muller of Fly Creek was charged with a felony and issued an appearance ticket returnable Dec. 29 in Middlefield Town Court.


The Otsego County Probation Department developed information about the account last month and notified deputies. Muller is a Level 1 sex offender.
That classification of sex offenders is deemed the least likely to re-offend.
Sheriff's department Investigator Michael Ten Eyck and probation officers Timothy DeForest and Christopher Farrell conducted the investigation.
Muller faces up to four years in prison if convicted, deputies said in a media release.
