AI system as recorded: Artificial intelligence tool, not identified, which according to the school’s public statement as reported by BioBioChile, La Cuarta and MargaMargaTV was used to create or modify a sexualised image of a teacher

What Happened

The statement. In a public statement reported on 8 October 2026 (quoted by BioBioChile and reported by La Cuarta and MargaMargaTV), the educational corporation, academic management and staff of a subsidised private school in Villa Alemana, Valparaíso region, said that “in a male WhatsApp group of parents, a sexualised image of one of our teachers, created or modified through artificial intelligence, was shared without her consent” (translation by the research agent, an AI). The school described the act as a use of technology to violate the dignity, privacy and integrity of a person.

Response. The school said the matter led to the activation of its institutional protocols and that the relevant institutional and legal actions should be taken, and called on families to discuss non-consensual sexualisation, the circulation of images and the silence that normalises violence against women. It also noted that pupils had rejected what happened. According to information gathered by Radio Bío Bío, no legal action had been filed at the time of publication.

Limits of the record. The outlets do not identify the tool, describe the image, say who created it or how many parents received it, or report the teacher’s own account. The date on which the image was made and shared is not stated.

Reported harm

According to the school’s statement as reported by three Chilean outlets, a sexualised image of one of its teachers, created or modified with AI, was shared without her consent in a WhatsApp group of male parents; the school describes this as a violation of her dignity, privacy and integrity. No further consequence for the teacher is reported.

How Harm Occurred

According to the school’s statement, a sexualised image of a teacher was created or modified with an AI tool and circulated without her consent among male parents of the school where she works; the non-consensual sexualised depiction and its circulation in her workplace community are the reported harm.

Outcome

Ongoing

The school says it activated its institutional protocols and that the relevant institutional and legal actions should be taken (MargaMargaTV). According to information gathered by Radio Bío Bío, no legal action had been filed as of 8 October 2026 (BioBioChile).

What remains unknown

  • Which AI tool was used, whether the image was wholly generated or an altered photograph, and who created it.
  • When the image was made and shared, and how many parents received it.
  • The teacher’s own account and any consequence for her beyond the exposure described by the school.
  • Whether a complaint has since been filed with police or prosecutors; Radio Bío Bío reported none at publication.

What the evidence supports

AI involvement: reported. The school’s public statement, quoted by BioBioChile and reported by La Cuarta and MargaMargaTV, says that a sexualised image of one of its teachers was “created or modified through artificial intelligence” and shared without her consent in a male parents’ WhatsApp group. The AI-made or AI-altered image depicts the teacher (depicted_or_impersonated) and is itself the reported harm: a non-consensual sexualised depiction circulated among parents of the school where she works. The tool is not identified, no outlet examined the image, and the identification of AI rests on the school’s statement, so the status is reported.

Reviewed for publication 2026-10-09: Published as a core case (depicted_or_impersonated) on three Spanish-language reports of a school’s public statement that a sexualised image of one of its teachers, created or modified with AI, was shared without her consent in a parents’ WhatsApp group. Every claim is attributed to the school’s statement or to Radio Bío Bío; the three outlets relay one statement and are recorded as one independence group. The teacher, the parents and the school are not named; Villa Alemana is kept because the case is public there. Severity is low because the reported harm is the non-consensual depiction and its circulation, with no further consequence reported.

Teletrece reported on 3 October 2026 that on 10 July 2026 female students at a secondary school in Puente Alto, Chile, found fake sexual images of themselves and other students on a classmate's phone. Families say the images were made with AI tools from ordinary photos the girls had posted on Instagram, that four students took part in obtaining, editing and circulating them, and that the material reached other students. Some of the girls had panic attacks, according to their parents. The school suspended the students identified as responsible for 15 days; after their return, parents say, they mocked the girls, a fight followed, and a parent accuses the father of one of the students involved of threats and of loitering near the school, after which she says they filed reports with the PDI.

East Jakarta: police confirm a grade-9 student at a state junior high school edited several female schoolmates' photographs with AI into indecent images that circulated as WhatsApp stickers; a social-media post said about 200 images were sold; the student was later beaten by schoolmates angry at the images (police statements differ on whether the depicted students or their friends did so) and both matters are under police investigation (Kompas, ANTARA, detik, VIVA, Media Indonesia, 23-24 September 2026)

On 23 September 2026 the spokesperson of the East Jakarta metropolitan police (Polres Metro Jakarta Timur) confirmed to reporters that a grade-9 student at a state junior high school in Pulogadung, East Jakarta, had edited photographs of several female schoolmates using artificial intelligence so that they appeared indecent, and that the edited images had been made into WhatsApp stickers; the police women-and-children protection unit is investigating. The case surfaced through a post on Threads which said about 200 edited photographs had been produced and sold to others; Kompas.com noted on 24 September that the sale allegation still rested only on that post, VIVA reported that police were still checking the claim that the images had been sold, and ANTARA reported on 23 September that police were still establishing the editing method, the recipients and the number of depicted students. As of 24 September the depicted students had not filed a report (detik and VIVA date the spokesperson's telephone remarks 'Kamis (22/9/2026)', a date that is internally inconsistent) and police appealed to them to do so. According to the parents' account relayed by police, on 15 and 16 September several people took the student who made the images to an empty house and then to a reservoir in Kayu Putih, punched him on the nose, ears and head, kicked his chest and stomach and threatened him with a bladed weapon; police attribute the beating to friends of the depicted students (ANTARA, detik, VIVA), while Kompas.com's 23 September report quotes the same spokesperson as saying the depicted students themselves beat him; he filed an assault report, which police are handling alongside the image case, and the school has held mediation with the students' parents. No student or school is named in the reports.

Jaú, São Paulo: eight 15-year-old ninth-grade boys at a private school are reported to have made fake nude images of a female classmate with artificial intelligence and shared them in a WhatsApp group; the school suspended them and the Civil Police are investigating a 15-year-old for dissemination of child pornography and defamation

In early September 2026 a private school in Jaú, in the interior of São Paulo state, identified the circulation of fake intimate images of a female classmate made with artificial intelligence and contacted the families. According to the police report described by the press, eight ninth-grade boys, all aged 15, kept a WhatsApp group in which they used digital programs to manipulate images of the student so that she appeared unclothed. The school suspended the eight and informed the girl's parents. The father of one of the boys checked his son's phone, found the files and took the boy and the phone to the police to register a report; the girl's parents also registered a police report. The São Paulo Public Security Secretariat said the Civil Police are investigating a 15-year-old for dissemination of child pornography and defamation that occurred on the morning of Thursday 3 September. The school said the content originated on a private platform outside the school environment and that it had adopted protective and welcoming measures for the student and opened an internal inquiry. The AI tool used is not named. The students are minors and are not named in any report.
