A Harmony Township man is facing a number of charges after the Attorney General Dave Sunday’s office says he posted AI generated photos depicting sexual abuse of minors.
20-year-old Benjamin Staiger allegedly posted the photos on “X”, many of which were AI-generated deep fakes showing the victims engaged in intimate activities.
He's also accused of stalking a former partner.
Bail was set at $100,000 dollars and posted.
Staiger will be on electronic monitoring.
“This case demonstrates the depth of depravity and exploitation available to bad actors who choose to weaponize modern technology and social media,” Attorney General Sunday said. “The defendant repeatedly abused and exploited multiple victims with a barrage of online postings. His days of hiding behind a social media handle while causing long-lasting harm and humiliation are over.”
