Teenage boys using ‘nudifying’ AI apps to make X-rated images of girls and teachers at school
Excerpt:
Experts have warned of ‘a massive explosion’ in boys – some as young as 13 – using free AI programs to create lifelike fake nude images of fellow pupils.
It is claimed that girls have even been driven to suicide after falling victim to the so-called ‘nudifying’ smartphone apps.
The apps can turn fully clothed photos of classmates – as well as teachers – into realistic-looking explicit nude images. They are thought to now be in use in ‘every classroom’ and teenage pupils have already been convicted of creating and sharing the images.
Under current law, creating, possessing and distributing an indecent image of a child are offences which carry substantial prison terms.
Marcus Johnstone, a criminal defence lawyer, said that there has been a ‘massive explosion’ in such crimes by children who are often unaware how serious their actions are.
‘I am aware of some perpetrators being 13 but they’re mostly 14 and 15,’ he said. ‘But they are getting younger.
.....Children’s Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza called on the Government to ‘go much further and faster’ to protect children, telling The Mail on Sunday that the apps ‘are seriously harmful and that their existence is a scandal’.
She added: ‘Nudifying apps should simply not be allowed to exist. It should not be possible for an app to generate a sexual image of a child, whether or not that was its designed intent.’
.....Tech giant Meta is suing Hong Kong-based firm Joy Timeline amid claims it was behind nudifying apps including free to download CrushAI.
It followed reports it had bought thousands of ads on Instagram and Facebook, using multiple fake profiles to evade Meta’s moderators.
Derek Ray-Hill of the Internet Watch Foundation said: ‘This is nude and sexual imagery of real children – often incredibly lifelike – which we see increasingly falling into the hands of online criminals with the very worst intentions.’

IMO students should not have smart phones in school at all. This tech is more than likely also available here in the US.
A veteran IDF soldier who fought in Gaza says that every home there contained antisemitic and anti-Jewish propaganda, including pictures of martyrs, Nazi books, Hitler dolls, and images of Jerusalem. Gazan society has glorified death and the murder of Jews for decades. Wake up.— Vivid.🇮🇱 (@VividProwess) August 3, 2025

This kind of tech is absolutely available. It’s almost always behind a pay wall or on the dark web. The one thing that worries me is chat AI is slowly taking over society. Anyone can go in these apps and have an entire relationship to whatever character they want. Intimate relationships. Once virtual reality meets it, it’s going to have huge effects on society.
