A woman identified as Elha-Mai Weston is reported to have carried out a four-year online catfishing and identity-theft campaign in which she impersonates another person using that person’s social media images and AI-generated content. According to reports, Weston targeted the victim, Sasha Davies, by creating and operating fake online profiles designed to deceive others about who she was. The coverage says the scheme involved repeated use of the victim’s photos and content to sustain the deception over an extended period.
The reports also state that Weston is required to pay £10,000 to the victim, reflecting a court-ordered compensation amount following the case. Details about the investigation process and the number of profiles created are not consistently provided across the brief summaries, but the central elements—an extended campaign, use of the victim’s identity and images, and payment of compensation—are presented as the key outcomes. The reporting characterizes the conduct as a prolonged effort to mislead people online by adopting the victim’s identity through both reused and computer-generated material.
