A college student named Taylor Klein discovered that her face had been deepfaked onto pornographic videos posted online by a suspected classmate, leading to harassment and emotional distress.
Taylor Klein, a college engineering student, discovered that her face had been deepfaked onto multiple pornographic videos posted on sites like Pornhub and xHamster. The videos included her full name, hometown, and college information, leading to harassment from men on social media. Another student, Julia, was also victimized in the same way. Both women suspected Mike, a former friend and classmate, based on evidence found on 4chan and the deepfake site MrDeepFakes.com. The suspected perpetrator's profile on MrDeepFakes.com had over a million views and 132 deepfake pornographic videos. When police were contacted, they stated no laws had been broken in their state and closed the case after a brief phone call to the suspect. The incident occurred at a time when only three states (Texas, Virginia, and California) had specific deepfake laws, with only Virginia and California addressing nonconsensual deepfake pornography. The documentary 'Another Body' used professional deepfake technology to protect the real victim's identity while telling her story.
