“Technology may change, but our commitment to protecting children will not,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. “The Justice Department will aggressively pursue those who produce and distribute child sexual abuse material—or CSAM—no matter how that material was created. Put simply, CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM, and we will hold accountable those who exploit AI to create obscene, abusive, and increasingly photorealistic images of children.”

quote:

According to court documents, Steven Anderegg, 42, of Holmen, allegedly used a text-to-image generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model called Stable Diffusion to create thousands of realistic images of prepubescent minors. Many of these images depicted nude or partially clothed minors lasciviously displaying or touching their genitals or engaging in sexual intercourse with men. Evidence recovered from Anderegg’s electronic devices revealed that he generated these images using specific, sexually explicit text prompts related to minors, which he then stored on his computer.




quote:

Additionally, Anderegg allegedly communicated with a 15-year-old boy and described how he used Stable Diffusion to convert his text prompts into images of minors. Anderegg also allegedly used Instagram direct message to send the boy several GenAI images of minors lasciviously displaying their genitals. Anderegg came to the attention of law enforcement through a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) after Instagram reported Anderegg’s account to NCMEC for distributing these images.


quote:

In one IM chat, Anderegg “explained that he does not publicly post fully nude images of minors on Instagram because that would be illegal.” During an online discussion with a 15-year-old boy, Anderegg allegedly asked if the child wanted any “customized” images, and then sent the minor three images depicting “prepubescent boys graphically displaying their erect penises.”

Arguing that Anderegg should be locked up in advance of trial, prosecutors revealed that the defendant’s residence was searched in 2020 after law enforcement officials determined that someone using the home’s Internet connection sought to download “multiple files of known child sexual abuse material over an online peer-to-peer network.” No charges were filed in connection with that probe.

If convicted of the federal charges, Anderegg--who has no previous criminal convictions--fames a mandatory minimum of five years in prison.

These sick fricks, they need to do away with them so they can't reproduce and risk passing that trait down to other humans.

Agree, but it'll be hard to make the charges stick. Unless I have a Mandela effect going, there's already a precedent saying it has to be actual children to be illegal.

I mean hasn't it always been? I thought even animated underage porn was illegal. And if so why wouldn't it apply to AI generated images?

Luckily, his contacting a 15 year old boy sealed his fate.

I’m always so torn on this debate. Same thing with child sex dolls. It’s obviously creepy as frick and I want these dudes in jail, but if they can get off on fake pictures and fake dolls and it saves them from ever needing the “real” thing then it’s a good thing overall for society.

Still not sure where I stand on it

It does not work like that. If anything I would suggest it would exacerbate the issue. Sitting alone and watching porn/fricking dolls never made anyone better. Grown adults who want to have sex with kids have a problem that shouldn't be addressed by letting someone have their needs met artificially.

I understand, but has that been studied and proven true?

What are the other options than waiting for them to do something and be thrown in jail (which then involves a real victim)? They are already watching the porn anyway, and AI porn could help dry up the market for the real thing that’s a good thing. But I get it.

It has not, and anytime someone tries, they're called a pedo-enabler and you get the "see? I told you they're normalizing pedophilia!" boomer social media posts.

You see it all the time with the "MAP" label, which is a term used to start to normalizing studying what you are discussing, so we know what we can do (because the recidivism rate is so strong).

The sad part is there is a population of sex abuse victims who are attracted to minors without acting on it who can't even discuss this issue, let alone hope that science can work on a treatment plan for them. But if you try to stand up for these sex abuse victims, you're ironically labeled a pedo or pedo-enabler.

It's the height of moral panic fear porn.

There was an episode of SVU awhile back where a porn studio was taking pics of adult women and then using Photoshop to make them look like 12 year old girls. If I remember right the porn studio boss was found guilty.
