- New Jersey prosecutor charged over AI-generated child sexual abuse material
Ars Technica, citing a Bucks County Detectives press release, reports that New Jersey deputy attorney general Brian Richard Fitzgerald was arrested at his home on Thursday on felony charges related to AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Officials accused the 51-year-old of using AI to turn social media photos of real minors into sexualized images and distributing them; the case began with a July tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a Discord user sharing an illicit image. Police said digital forensics, subscriber records and IP addresses led them to his home, where a search recovered prompts and scripts used to create AI-generated CSAM and Discord chat logs in which he allegedly admitted making and sharing multiple illicit images; he was charged with possession and dissemination of CSAM and criminal use of a communication facility.

According to 404 Media and Court Watch, an FBI task force officer with the Livonia Undercover Resistance to Exploitation Unit (LURE) in Michigan created a profile on the queer-focused dating app Taimi using an AI-generated image of a teenager-appearing male named "Caleb," with no age listed. After the investigator, posing as Caleb, said he was 15, the man replied that he was interested, sent sexually explicit messages over several days and arranged to drive to a meetup while believing Caleb's parents were out; he was taken into custody on arrival. Investigators also used Thomson Reuters CLEAR to check his phone number, Clearview AI to match his face and Flock to track his car; the man asked to speak with the officer two hours after booking and admitted everything, and the report says he works at an Illinois high school.
