A man is on trial after prosecutors allege he created sexualised AI images of young girls, including those as young as 13, and sent them to schools. Police allege the images were deepfake-style representations of women and girls, and that they were distributed through email to education institutions.

According to testimony reported by multiple outlets, the defendant tells police he made the images “for fun.” The reporting also includes remarks attributed to the man during police interviews, in which he says technology can be threatening—phrased by some sources as “every woman should be afraid.” Outlets otherwise describe the conduct and alleged age range similarly.

While the accounts differ slightly in emphasis and wording—some focus on the “fun” claim, while others highlight the defendant’s comments about the technology—the coverage aligns on the central allegations: the creation of sexualised AI images involving minors and their email distribution to schools. The case is being heard by a jury.
