NEW HOPE, Pa. -

Social networking site "MeetMe" bills itself as a place to meet friends, but now the Bucks County based company will meet the "city by the bay" in court.

San Francisco City Attorney David Herrera filed a lawsuit through his Consumer Protection Unit on behalf of the people of California, claiming the site illegally gives underage teens personal information and geographic location without valid consent.

"MeetMe has become a tool of choice for sexual predators to target underage victims, and the company's irresponsible privacy policies and practices are to blame for it," Herrera said in a statement.

Initially named MyYearbook, MeetMe started in 2005 and, according to the social networking site, 90 million members are logged on nationwide.

The site uses GPS to track users and give locations of other users nearby.

Children under 13 can't join and those over 18 aren't allowed to view minors' pictures and profiles.

But the suit alleges the site doesn't go far enough and allows potential predators and stalkers to view and scroll through profiles of children.

The lawsuit claims dozens of minors nationwide have been the victims of sex crimes by predators who relied on MeetMe to find their targets.

MeetMe management were not at their New Hope office, but company CEO Geoff Cook did issue a statement.

Richmond, VA - Nearly 4 million people in the U.S. are living with a potentially fatal virus in their bodies, but only a fraction know it. Hepatitis C, the Hidden Killer, can lie dormant in your liver, causing slow and silent destruction for decades.

Now, a new round of drugs is bringing new hope to doctors and their patients. Until recently, treatments for Hepatitis C have been almost as painful as the virus itself. Doctors have been working furiously over the past several years to develop a new generation of drugs to cure patients in less time, with less effort, and with less pain.

"The new drugs that we're using, almost everybody is cured. In fact, now it's rare for somebody in these clinical trials not to be cured," said Dr. Mitchell Shiffman, Medical Director of the Bon Secours Liver Institute in Richmond.

The new treatments are a far cry from ones dating back just three years ago. Before 2011, the year-long process of treating Hepatitis C produced limited results and extensive side effects.

"Because of these low cure rates and the high side effect rates, this is why the vast majority of patients with Hepatitis C in the country, who know they have the virus, have not been treated," said Shiffman.

Only 25% of Americans with Hepatitis C know they have it. Less than half of those people are seeking treatment. The risks and benefits of older treatments just don't weigh out for most patients.

"It's depressing to take those medications and get side effects and not be cured," said Shiffman.

The main culprit of these side effects is interferon, an injection that's been known to cause depression, flu-like symptoms and fatigue. Bryan McKernon is all too familiar with the side effects interferon causes. The 57-year-old learned he had Hepatitis when he was 30. Back then, Hep C wasn't even on the radar for most doctors.

So, McKernon went to the Bon Secours Liver Institute in Richmond, to meet with Dr. Shiffman.

"When we first met Bryan he looked very healthy, but his liver was already very diseased," said Shiffman.
