DES MOINES (AP) - A Melbourne man was arrested after authorities say he sexually abused a 14-year-old girl he had met over the social networking site MySpace.

Twenty-three-year-old Anthony McGrew was charged with five counts of sexual abuse.

Authorities say he had met with the girl twice after contacting her online in late October. At their second meeting authorities say McGrew also sexually abused another teenage girl.

Officials say McGrew turned himself in. Story County sheriff officials say they had warrants to search MySpace and computers involved in the alleged correspondence between McGrew and the girls.
