Spanish teenager under investigation over AI naked images of classmates
Sixteen young women at an educational institute in Valencia, in south-eastern Spain, complained about the AI-generated images of them which were circulating on social media and online.
In December, a teenage girl complained to police that AI-generated video and faked photos resembling her 'completely naked' were posted on a social media account started under her name.
'Photos of various people, all of them minors, appeared on this account. All these photos had been modified from the originals, which had been manipulated so that the people in them appeared completely naked,' the Spanish Civil Guard said in a statement on Sunday (Monday AEST).
A 17-year-old boy is under investigation for alleged corruption of minors.
The Spanish government said in March said it would put forward a law to treat such deep-faked sexual imagery created by AI without consent as a crime but the bill has so far not been passed by parliament.
In September 2023, Spain was shocked when 15 minors in Extremadura, in southwest Spain, were investigated for using AI to produce fake naked images of their female schoolmates. They were later sentenced to a year's probation.

Train derails in Germany killing three, injuring others
A regional passenger train derailed in southern Germany, killing at least three people and seriously injuring others, authorities said. Federal and local police said the cause of the crash near Riedlingen, roughly 158 kilometres west of Munich, remains under investigation. Photos from the scene showed parts of the train on its side as rescuers climbed atop the carriages. It was not immediately clear how many people were injured. Roughly 100 people were onboard the train when at least two carriages derailed in a forested area around 6:10 pm Sunday (0210 AEST Monday). Storms passed through the area before the crash and investigators were seeking to determine if the rain was a factor. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in a post on social platform X, said he mourned the victims and gave his condolences to their families. Deutsche Bahn, Germany's main national railway operator, said in a statement that it was cooperating with investigators. The company also offered its condolences.
