"Social networking sites are the new playground for predators. As of July, 2007, MySpace has found more than 29,000 registered sex offenders on its site, four times more than its original estimate."
This is from the Department of Justice of North Carolina. So, if I catch it well, the figures source is MySpace. How they calculated them - if not by counting each and every case - I don't know.
"That number", says the document, "includes just the predators who signed up using their real names, and not the ones who failed to register or used fake names, or who haven’t been convicted."
Here's the link to the Department of Justice or North Carolina. The official document by Attorney General Roy Cooper,
Protecting Children from Predators, is available in *.pdf
