Conway police allege AI-generated sexual images and stalking

Police in Conway, New Hampshire, said in November 2025 that a 38-year-old Albany man had stalked a person for about a year and used AI tools to make 'deepfake' videos and photographs showing the victim in sexual acts that never happened, then shared them without consent. He was arrested in late October 2025 on charges including three counts of non-consensual dissemination of private sexual images, fraudulent use of deepfakes, stalking and receiving stolen property, and, as of reporting on 7 November, was held without bail pending a probable-cause hearing. These are police allegations; no conviction had been verified at review.
