Two teenage boys who used artificial intelligence to create fake nude photos of their classmates have been put on probation. The boys, who were 14 at the time, admitted making dozens of child sex abuse images in 2023 and 2024. Prosecutors said they morphed photos of girls, many from Instagram, with virtual images of adults depicting nudity or sexual activity. Some of the victims were their classmates at Lancaster Country Day School. Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday has said the case highlights the dark side of modern technology and social media.
