After boys shared faked pornographic images made of female classmates, both the school and the local police began investigating
When girls at Westfield High School in New Jersey found out boys were sharing nude photos of them in group chats, they were shocked, and not only because it was an invasion of privacy. The images weren’t real.
Students said one or more classmates used an online tool powered by artificial intelligence to make the images, then shared them with others. The discovery has sparked uproar in Westfield, an affluent town outside New York City.
Digitally altered or faked images and videos have exploded along with the availability of free or cheap AI tools. While celebrity likenesses from Oprah Winfrey to Pope Francis have drawn media attention, the overwhelming majority of faked images are pornographic, experts say.
The lack of clarity on such images’ legality—and how or whether to punish their makers—has parents, schools and law enforcement running to catch up as AI speeds ahead.
The high school confirmed the incident in an email to parents, but a Westfield Public Schools spokeswoman declined to provide details on the number of students involved or to confirm whether any disciplinary action had been taken, citing student confidentiality.
Some Westfield parents said their daughters have felt humiliated and powerless, and worry about damage to the girls should the images surface later. And they are upset that no resolution is forthcoming.
Even among parents, there is no consensus. In a local Facebook group, some called for harsh punishment for whoever created the images. Others deemed it a youthful transgression that should be forgiven.
The debate and its aftermath are likely to continue for months. Westfield police are investigating, and a state senator has asked county prosecutors to look into the case.

Boys will be boys!
No foul, they aren’t REAL!
They should make fake nudes of the boys with real tiny micro-dingys.
I see my later suggestion was already spoken!
boys probably learned to be good one hand typists in the process
You’re right. It’s a very big deal.
Once they shared these images, they engaged in sexual harassment which also created a sexually hostile environment.
And it’s worse in public school because it’s compulsory. The victims often cannot escape the presence of their abusers.
What’s worse is that even on a conservative, family-friendly, faith-encouraging website, some participants feel free to openly advocate for this degeneracy.
They all deserve the Hell they have coming to them on judgment day.
“Strong Delusion”? Yep

Damn, that's good. And that's two years old which is archaic by tech standards. Things have only improved since then.
That's a two part ruling. The first part addressed actors of legal age who look like minors. This was brought about with the proliferation of "barely legal" porn that became popular in the late 90s. Youthful-looking but legally adult actresses dressing like schoolgirls in porn films got a lot of people hemmed up in legal trouble. Today, now perfectly legal and commonplace.
The second part is a little hazy. AI-generated child porn could be legal UNLESS it looks like an actual minor, in which case it's a violation of federal law. So, if someone's AI-generated child porn just happens to look like my daughter, even if they've never seen my daughter, they're potentially in trouble.
The student offenders in this story most certainly ran afoul of federal law seeing how they used easily identifiable photographs of their fellow students.

Now I get to add the word micro-dingy to my personal vocabulary.
Perhaps a greater insult to the Bad Boys would have been to portray them as Transexuals?
On nude dates with Dylan Mulvaney?!
> Just hurt feelings I guess
It is like defamation - depicting something about someone’s character that is false and demeaning.
“It is like defamation - depicting something about someone’s character that is false and demeaning.”
Defamation might be the “legal” way to go.

You have a point. The fathers should take action.
