'GTA IV' blasted for paedophile website

Rockstar's controversial game Grand Theft Auto IV has been blasted after The Sun revealed that it features a parody of a paedophile website.

The newspaper reported that the illegal site - little lacysurprisepageant.com - was uncovered after a cheat was used that allows the main character in the game to have a five-star wanted rating.

The report claimed: "The fake site displays a message from virtual authorities saying it has been closed down. It warns that anyone caught looking at it will be investigated and features the warning: 'We see it all, we know it all.'"

Jason Deschoolmeester, 23, of South Wales, said: "I was looking on the internet for cheats and the name of this caught my eye as my daughter is called Lacey. This crosses the line. The makers have obviously sat around and discussed putting this in, and it’s not on. What will they do next?

"It’s disgusting. It could lead people to indulge in things like that. It is totally sick. I won’t play it again."

The paedophile website address is reportedly one of dozens of fake sites featured in the game, which result in cheats.

Rockstar has so far refused to comment on the allegations.
