Two teenage boys aged 13 and 14 from Miami, Florida were arrested for creating AI-generated nude images of male and female classmates aged 12-13 without consent and sharing them.
Two teenage boys, aged 13 and 14, from Pinecrest Cove Academy in Miami, Florida were arrested on December 22, 2023 for allegedly creating and sharing AI-generated nude images of their classmates without consent. The victims depicted in the fake explicit images were between the ages of 12 and 13. The boys used an artificial intelligence application to create the altered sexual depictions, though the specific app name was not disclosed in police reports. The incident was reported to a school administrator on December 6, 2023, who obtained copies of the altered images and interviewed the victims, who confirmed they did not consent to the images being created. The boys shared the pictures between each other before being discovered. They were initially suspended from school for 10 days, with parents of victims publicly urging expulsion. The teenagers were charged with third-degree felonies under a Florida law passed in 2022 that makes sharing altered sexual depictions without consent illegal. This case represents the first known arrests and criminal charges for AI-generated nude images of minors. After arrest, both boys were transported to the Juvenile Service Department without incident.
