London Man Jailed for Using AI to Create Abusive Images of Children

A 32-year-old London man has been sentenced to two years and four months in prison after admitting offences involving AI-generated abusive images of children and other illegal material. Police said he secretly took more than 5,000 photographs of women and girls in his neighbourhood, including children playing outside and travelling to school. Investigators found he used AI software to alter some photographs, including images involving two girls aged seven and 13. The case has drawn criticism over bail decisions that allowed him to return to a home overlooking an area used by children before sentencing. The affected families said they felt unsafe and were forced to seek alternative accommodation. Police have called for stronger safeguards against AI tools being used to create child sexual abuse material.
