According to the court press services of the Bryansk and Lipetsk regions, as relayed by 7info (4 June 2026) and CNews (5 June 2026), the Zadonsk district court in the Lipetsk region convicted a local man of illegally making and distributing pornographic material. He had created a social-media group with erotic content and, to fill it, downloaded photographs of nine women from open accounts and used neural networks to turn them into pornographic photo-collages with naked bodies, which were published openly without the knowledge or consent of the women depicted. He admitted guilt and fully compensated all the victims for moral harm. The court sentenced him in June 2026 to three years' imprisonment, suspended, with five years' probation and a ban on administering internet sites, pages and other resources for the same period. When the images were made and how long the group was online are not stated.
