Police Probe Spanish Teen For Creating Nude AI-Generated Images Of Female Classmates
The case emerged after 16 teenage girls from an educational institute in the Valencia region reported seeing AI-generated images of themselves circulating on social media
Spanish police have launched an investigation into a 17-year-old accused of using artificial intelligence to create and distribute fake nude images of female classmates.
The case emerged after 16 teenage girls from an educational institute in the Valencia region reported seeing AI-generated images of themselves circulating on social media and internet.
According to authorities, the first complaint was filed in December by a girl who discovered a deepfake video and explicit photos that showed a person resembling her, completely naked. The content had been shared on a social media account set up using her name.
As further complaints followed, police began to suspect that the same individual was behind the images. Investigators traced the IP addresses connected to the fake accounts, which led them to the home of the 17-year-old student, who is now under formal investigation.
Police believe the teenager may have used AI tools to manipulate real photos of classmates and create false explicit content. He is being investigated on suspicion of 'corruption of minors." Authorities are also looking into claims that some of the content may have been offered for sale.
This is not the first time Spanish authorities have had to deal with cases involving AI-generated sexual images. In March, the Spanish government said it would introduce legislation making it a criminal offence to create sexually explicit images using AI without a person's consent.
The proposed law, which would be one of the first of its kind in Europe, is still awaiting approval in parliament.
The case has sparked fresh concerns about the abuse of AI technology and the urgent need for regulation to protect privacy and prevent digital exploitation, especially of minors.

Drug Lab Hidden In A Buffalo Barn: Rajasthan, Maharashtra Police Bust Inter-State Syndicate
The facility contained large amounts of precursor chemicals like Chloroform, Ammonium Chloride, and Toluene — typically used in the manufacture of Mephedrone. In a major crackdown on synthetic drug manufacturing, police teams from Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) joined forces to bust an inter-state drug syndicate operating clandestine labs. The operation began on July 22, 2025, when Barmer district police detected a hidden lab inside a buffalo barn in Village Dholakia. The facility contained large amounts of precursor chemicals like Chloroform, Ammonium Chloride, and Toluene — typically used in the manufacture of Mephedrone. Lab equipment was also seized from the remote location, and two individuals were detained at the site. The NCB's Jodhpur unit soon joined the investigation, helping identify links to Maharashtra. During interrogation, one of the arrested men revealed that a key member of the syndicate hailed from Raigad district in Maharashtra and had transported chemicals and equipment to set up the Barmer lab. This tip-off led Raigad police and NCB Mumbai to swiftly act and detain the suspect. Investigations pointed to a shut factory — M/s Rohan Chemicals in Mahad — that was secretly being used to manufacture synthetic drugs. A raid at the premises resulted in the recovery of 34 kg of powdered Ketamine, 12 litres in liquid form, and a cache of precursor chemicals. Authorities also discovered that the main mastermind was a repeat offender, already under the radar for earlier drug cases handled by the DRI and NCB. The back-to-back raids and coordinated intelligence sharing between police units in Barmer, Raigad, and NCB zones in Jodhpur, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai led to the quick dismantling of the drug network. Investigations are still ongoing, with both Barmer and Raigad police pursuing various leads. This bust comes close on the heels of another similar operation in Sri Ganganagar, where 5 kg of Mephedrone was seized and even science teachers were found involved. To help identify such secret drug-making hubs, NCB has circulated 'red flag indicators" to all state police departments and urges citizens to share drug-related information via the toll-free helpline 1933. Identities of callers will be kept confidential. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 10:19 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
