More than 20 girls in Spain reported receiving AI-generated naked images of themselves. But can deepfakes be legally punished?
When they returned to school after the summer holidays, more than twenty girls from Almendralejo, a town in southern Spain, received naked photos of themselves on their mobile phones.

None of them had taken the pictures, but they looked completely real.
The images had been stolen from their Instagram accounts, altered using an artificial intelligence application and then shared in Whatsapp groups.
The teenagers were fully clothed in the real photos, but the app made the nudity look completely real.
Now parents and prosecutors are asking whether a crime has been committed, even if the pictures are actually real - could the images be considered child pornography?
"The montages are super realistic, it's very disturbing and a real outrage," Miriam Al Adib, one of the girls' mothers, wrote on her Instagram account.
"My daughter told me with great disgust: 'Mum, look what they have done to me'," she added.
Al Adib even claimed that the photos could have reached internet portals such as Onlyfans or pornographic websites. All the while, the girls endured the comments of their classmates.
”Don't complain, girls upload pictures that almost show their p***y," one of the girls was told.
The youngest of the girls is only 11 years old and not yet in high school.
Another mother, Fátima Gómez, told Extremadura TV that her daughter had been blackmailed.
In a conversation with a boy on social media, he asked her for money and when she refused, he sent her a naked picture.
