Federal prosecutors charge two men with creating non-consensual, sexually explicit AI-generated nude videos and photos under a newly enacted federal law targeting “deepfakes.” According to the criminal complaints cited by multiple outlets, the men are accused of using artificial intelligence to generate intimate imagery involving nude depictions of female celebrities and then distributing the content online. The reporting says both men were arrested on Tuesday and are described as among the first defendants to face charges under the new statute, which criminalizes the creation and dissemination of AI-generated intimate images without consent. One outlet identifies the accused as Cornelius Shannon, 51, and Arturo Hernandez, 20, and reports that the alleged AI content attracted large online audiences. The sources also note that prosecutors say the two men are not known to be connected. Coverage characterizes the case as part of broader enforcement efforts under the new “Take It Down” framework aimed at limiting the spread of deepfake pornography. The defendants have not been described as having been convicted; the information reported reflects charges and allegations contained in court filings.
