Hugh Nelson, 27, from Bolton, jailed after transforming normal pictures of children into sexual abuse imagery
A man who used AI to create child abuse images using photographs of real children has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.
In the first prosecution of its kind in the UK, Hugh Nelson, 27, from Bolton, was convicted of 16 child sexual abuse offences in August, after an investigation by Greater Manchester police (GMP).
Nelson had used Daz 3D, a computer programme with an AI function, to transform “normal” images of children into sexual abuse imagery, Greater Manchester police said. In some cases, paedophiles had commissioned the images, supplying photographs of children with whom they had contact in real life.
He was also found guilty of encouraging other offenders to commit rape.
“it would probably be worth seeing if that did anything to make pedophiles less likely to act out on their desires.”
What’s the implication here? You’re saying we should look into placating child predators by creating AI CP for them to consume?
That would be worth a scientific study, don’t you think? Isn’t it worth trying to find ways to stop child predators before they become predators?
You seem to think I’m suggesting that the UK government create childporn.gov.uk or something.
