'Myspace' has been identified as one of the more popular sites used to solicit sex by a recent study

The report released by the Urban Institute on the underground commercial sex industry in eight major U.S. cities has found that the sites' online services allegedly not only helping mask the illegal activity but geographically expand it, the New York Daily News reported.

According to the sex workers, Myspace is now as popular as Craigslist, Backpage.com, Adam4Ada.com, Eros.com, AdultSearch.com, TheEroticReview.com, and Cityvibe.com for soliciting clients.

A Dallas law enforcement official has confirmed that Myspace and MocoSpace are frequently used by pimps.
