Baton Rouge, Louisiana: police obtained an arrest warrant for a 55-year-old Pierre Part man accused of using AI to make nude images of a female co-worker and a simulated sex video of the two of them, and showing them to her on his phone during a shared commute

According to a Baton Rouge Police Department arrest warrant reported by WAFB, Louisiana First (Nexstar), The Advocate and WBRZ, a woman told police on 8 September 2026 that a 55-year-old co-worker from Pierre Part, with whom she had been commuting to and from work, showed her on his phone several artificially generated images depicting her nude and an artificially generated video depicting the two of them engaging in simulated sexual intercourse. She told police the depicted sexual activity never happened and that she never consented to the creation or use of her likeness; she recorded what he showed her on her own phone and gave the recording and text messages to police. Investigators say they found AI-generated nude images of her and other images showing her and the man in sexual situations, and that in texts he said he had deleted the material from his phone and from cloud storage connected to the website used to create it. The woman also told police he had previously expressed romantic or sexual interest in her. A warrant was issued on one felony count of unlawful deepfakes under Louisiana law. The tool used is not named and the accusations have not been tried.

AI system as recorded: An unnamed image- and video-generation website that the accused reportedly used to create nude images and a simulated sex video from a real woman's likeness (arrest warrant as reported); the tool is not identified

What Happened

WAFB (Gray, 28 September 2026, also carried by Fox 8), Louisiana First (Nexstar, via Yahoo), The Advocate and WBRZ each report the same arrest warrant from the Baton Rouge Police Department. The investigation began when the woman reported the allegations on 8 September. According to the warrant, she and the accused were co-workers who commuted together; during one commute he showed her, on his phone, several artificially generated images depicting her nude and an artificially generated video depicting the two of them engaging in simulated sexual intercourse. She told police the sexual activity never happened, that she had never been in a relationship with him and that she never gave permission for the images or video. She recorded what he was showing her with her own phone and later gave the recording and their text messages to police. Investigators said they reviewed the material and found AI-generated nude images of her and other images showing the two in sexual situations. In the messages quoted in the warrant he wrote that he would delete most of the material, that everything of her had been deleted as she wished, and that he had deleted it from his phone and from cloud storage connected to the website used to create it; police said the messages showed knowledge, possession and control of the images. She also told police he had previously expressed romantic or sexual interest in her. The warrant cites the part of Louisiana's 2023 unlawful-deepfakes law that covers showing or distributing sexually explicit deepfakes of a person without consent. The accused's response is not reported.

Reported harm

According to the arrest warrant as reported, a woman was shown AI-generated nude images of herself and a simulated sex video of herself with a co-worker who had made them without her consent (Baton Rouge police warrant via WAFB, Louisiana First, The Advocate and WBRZ).

Outcome

Ongoing

An arrest warrant filed in East Baton Rouge Parish accuses the man of one felony count of unlawful deepfakes under Louisiana law (WAFB; The Advocate says the warrant was issued on a Monday). WBRZ describes him as wanted; no arrest, plea or court date is reported. The cited provision carries 10 to 30 years at hard labor, a fine of up to $50,000, or both.

What remains unknown

  • Which tool or website was used to create the images and video.

Etawah, Uttar Pradesh: a beautician and event organiser died by suicide on the night of 20-21 July 2026 after recording a video naming four acquaintances she said had ruined her home; her husband says they had been blackmailing her with AI-made videos and photographs (India Today: 'AI-generated videos and morphed photographs'); police registered an abetment case and arrested the main accused (July 2026)

A beautician, make-up artist and event organiser in Etawah district, Uttar Pradesh (aged 20 or 26 depending on the report), recorded a video on her phone and sent it to her husband before hanging herself at their rented home in Vrindavan Colony, Civil Lines, on the night of 20 July 2026 (ANI's circle officer; the Times of India says 21 July). In the video she named two women and two men, former work acquaintances, as 'the reason I am hanging myself', said they had ruined her home and should be jailed for life, said they had threatened to reveal details of her pre-marriage life to her husband and in-laws, and cleared her husband. Her husband, a block-office clerk, told India Today (whose Etawah reporter also wrote the AajTak report) and, separately, India TV that after she returned from a Jaipur assignment the four had been harassing and blackmailing her with AI-made videos and photographs. Civil Lines police seized her phone, held the inquest and post-mortem and said they were verifying the videos; the Times of India reported on 27 July that a case of abetment to suicide had been registered on the husband's complaint and that the alleged main accused, a 30-year-old man, had been arrested on Saturday 25 July and sent to jail while the other three, including the two women, were absconding. The AI attribution rests on the husband's account as reported; her video, as quoted, names four people and describes threats to expose her pre-marriage life; the police statements read do not describe an examination of the material.

Columbus, Ohio: a man was sentenced to 15 years for cyberstalking at least six women with real and AI-generated sexual images and rape threats, the first conviction under the Take It Down Act

Between December 2024 and June 2025 James Strahler II, then 37, of Columbus (Upper Arlington), Ohio, harassed at least six women in central Ohio by phone, voicemail, text and web posts, sending them nude images that were both real and AI-generated, threatening rape, referring to their home addresses and demanding nude photos from their mothers. In one case he used AI to make pornographic videos depicting a victim with her father and sent them to her co-workers. He also posted AI-generated sexual images of boys from his community, morphing their faces onto other bodies. Prosecutors said he had installed more than 24 AI platforms and more than 100 web-based AI models on his phone. He pleaded guilty in April 2026 to cyberstalking, producing obscene visual representations of child sexual abuse and publication of digital forgeries, and on 8 September 2026 Chief U.S. District Judge Sarah D. Morrison sentenced him to 180 months in prison. The U.S. Attorney called it the first conviction in the nation under the 2025 Take It Down Act.
