Spain: teen girls victims of AI-morphed naked image circulation case

Pictures of young girls have been manipulated with AI and distributed in a Spanish town, with several saying the photos were taken from their social media accounts.

Parents of the victims said the girls were originally fully clothed in the now AI-morphed photos, a BBC report said.

While police have launched a probe, at least 20 girls have come forward as targets of the AI-based case.

So far Spanish law enforcement officers have identified 11 local boys, who reportedly circulated the image using WhatsApp and Telegram. All suspects in the incident are aged between 12 and 14, BBC reported.

Police are also investigating an alleged extortion case tied to the AI-generated photos, the report added.

“One day my daughter came out of school and she said 'Mum there are photos circulating of me topless,” the mother of a 14-year-old victim said.
