Another LA high school AI porn scandal: Calabasas student, 16, says photos were manipulated to show her face on naked body then spread on Snapchat and Airdrop

A high schooler in California claims a former friend used AI to generate pornographic images of her which were then shared with classmates.

The victim, a 16-year-old student at Calabasas High School, said her friend spread the images as revenge after they got into an argument about a boy and a concert.

She said the perpetrator took photos of her in the shower and used artificial intelligence to turn them into fake photos of her in x-rated positions.

The teen's mother, Jacqueline Smith, claimed the photos were shared around the school using Snapchat and Airdrop, and it has been detrimental to her daughter's mental health.

The student told KTLA: 'I didn't want to go to school, didn't want to leave my room. I was scared, I was embarrassed, I was humiliated.'

'To my understanding she manipulated my face on to another image taken from PornHub of a girl who could have a similar body type to mine.'

According to the victim, the photos started spreading around the school in August.

'I never thought that if I left the door cracked a little open because my shower gets too steamy that pictures of me would end up all over my school. It was terrifying,' she told KABC.

The teen and her family claim the accused student has not been disciplined, but they feel she should have been expelled.

'All the school tells me is that, "We can't disclose it with you." So I only know from what I see and what I see is that she's there at school every day, still harassing me, still bullying me,' said the victim.

Smith said she has taken her daughter's case to the district attorney and that it was now a matter about possession and distribution of child pornography.

'It was very hard. She's dealt with a lot of mental health issues. She's dealt with a lot of emotional distress, humiliation,' Smith said. 

The superintendent of the Las Virgenes Unified School District, Dan Stepenosky, said in a statement: 'We take our students' safety very seriously and we're in the middle of investigating claims from both students (and parents) against each other.'

'We have also shared all of the information we have with Lost Hills Sheriff's Office, but they don't seem to be pressing any charges at this point.'

A group of Beverly Hills middle school students were expelled earlier this month after they made AI generated fake nude pictures of their classmates.

The five unnamed eighth graders attended Beverly Vista Middle School in California's infamously fancy neighborhood and are between the ages of 13 and 14.

They are said to have shared explicit images through messaging apps in February that depicted their classmates' faces superimposed on artificially generated naked bodies.

The victims of the fake pornographic images were 16 eighth-grade students, who would have been aged 13-14, whose genders have not been confirmed. 

AI-generated nudes can be made using several free apps. In 2020, researchers discovered a 'deepfake ecosystem' on the messaging app Telegram.

The bot-generated images typically used images of women taken from their social media accounts and turned them into pornographic images which were circulated on the messaging app.
