In December 2023, it was reported that two male students attending a junior high school in Westchester , Florida, were being investigated by the police for abusing AI software to generate nude images of their classmates. One victim, who spoke on condition of anonymity, commented: ``My face was used without my consent. It's violent and I feel exploited.''
The middle school students attended suspended them for 10 days, but Nadia Khan-Roberts, the mother of one of the victims, argued that a suspension alone was not enough. “We want these boys expelled from school. Our daughters are happy to walk the same hallways as boys who used their images in AI nude-generating apps in highly inappropriate ways. 'No,' he said.
In March 2024, overseas media reported that two boys, ages 13 and 14, were charged with a third-degree felony for ``generating and sharing deep fake nude images of their 12- to 13-year-old classmates using AI.'' WIRED reported. WIRED obtained the police report through a public records request process.
In 2022, Florida passed a state law that prohibits the dissemination of sexually explicit deepfake images without the victim's consent, and the middle school students are being prosecuted based on this state law. This arrest and indictment is believed to be the first case in the United States involving the sharing of AI-generated nudes.
The generation of deepfake nude images of classmates and other boys and girls by minors is a problem not only in the United States but around the world . However, at the time of writing, there is no U.S. federal law regarding non-consensual deep fake nude images, so each state is working on enacting its own law.
The US government is steadily moving toward regulating the generation of non-consensual sexual content by AI. President Joe Biden will issue an Executive Order on Regulation of Generative AI in the fall of 2023, calling on agencies to prohibit the use of AI to generate sexual content of children. At the end of January 2024, a law called the Destruction of Explicitly False Images and Non-Consent Editing (DEFIANCE) Act was submitted to Congress, allowing people who have had their fake pornography created to sue. It has partisan support.

In addition, at Beverly Vista Junior High School in Beverly Hills , Los Angeles County, California, it is reported that the expulsion of five middle school students who used generative AI to generate fake nude images of their classmates was approved in March 2024.
'This incident spurs important discussions about the ethical use of technology, including AI, and underscores the importance of vigilant and informed engagement in digital environments,' said Beverly Hills Unified School District Superintendent Michael Breggie. We also recognize that children are still learning and growing and that mistakes are part of this process.However, we cannot escape accountability and ensure that appropriate action is taken. It was taken,” he commented.
