NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) — The North Charleston Police Department is investigating two high schoolers and has seized a cellphone, a tablet and two Chromebooks over AI-generated nude images depicting female students.
At 10:20 a.m. Thursday, a school resource officer at Fort Dorchester High School received a call from the school saying there were five underage female victims who had explicit AI-generated images of themselves posted across multiple social media sites.
Police said these images had the victims faces on nude bodies that had been digitally generated. Each image had the victim’s name written across the bodies.
The officer identified two suspects, a boy and a girl, both of whom are also underage.
No charges have been filed, nor have any arrests been made.
Dorchester County School District Two shared the following statement addressing the matter:
Dorchester School District Two is aware of the situation. Fort Dorchester High School is conducting an investigation and working with our law enforcement partners.
