A 73-year-old former teacher, Dr Robert John Thomas, is charged after allegations that he used artificial intelligence to generate child sexual exploitation material. According to reports, police allege he created explicit images depicting children, including staff and students, using his school laptop and AI software. Both outlets describe the conduct as the alleged use of work-related equipment to generate images rather than any claim of production involving physical photography. The allegations relate to explicit images depicting children that were allegedly generated through AI. The former teacher’s status as a private school teacher is noted in one report, while another focuses on his connection to the Gold Coast area. The charges indicate authorities are treating the alleged content as child exploitation material and are taking action through the criminal justice process. No outcome of the case is reported, and the reports do not provide details on the specific software used, when the alleged images were created, or whether any other devices or accounts are involved. The matter remains at the charge stage.
