BERLIN (AP) - German authorities are trying to uncover the identity of a person who's offering child pornography in the virtual world of "Second Life."
A German, whose avatar — or online character — is a 13-year-old girl, has been offering to provide real photos that contain child pornography to other denizens of the online service, prosecutor Peter Vogt said Thursday.
Authorities hope to uncover the person's identity within days with help from San Francisco-based Linden Lab, which runs the online universe where people make virtual friends, listen to concerts, shop and even campaign for political office.
