Sex offenders could be forced to register their e-mail addresses and chatroom names, the government says.
Home Secretary John Reid said he may make paedophiles put online identity details on the Sex Offenders Register.
Mechanisms would be set up to “flag up” approaches by them to sites popular among youngsters, he told the BBC.
One computer expert said this was a step in the right direction, but added internet identities could be changed “in a matter of seconds”.
