A protest by high school students at Colegio Alicante del Sol in Puente Alto ended this Thursday with vandalism, clashes, and the presence of the Carabineros (Chilean police), amidst the anger of students and parents over a case of alleged deepfakes involving sexual content that has been ongoing since July.

According to information gathered by ADN.cl, on July 10, students allegedly discovered sexually explicit images on a classmate's phone, created using artificial intelligence, that reportedly involved female students from the school.

After the situation came to light, which is being investigated by the Public Prosecutor's Office, the families of the alleged victims went to the school, and the students involved were suspended pending an investigation.

However, according to testimonies displayed on posters inside the school, the students later returned to classes, although assigned to different courses. This decision angered some students, who questioned the school's response and demanded more action in the matter.

Aggression and Arrival of Police

Tensions escalated following further incidents reported by students and their families, who claim to have been mocked and threatened in the context of the conflict.

The conflict escalated around 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, August 27, when students held a demonstration that was initially reported as peaceful. Later, damage to windows, the activation of a fire extinguisher, and clashes were reported.

According to information obtained by ADN, police arrived at the school shortly after noon, following the preliminary identification by their classmates of three students as the alleged perpetrators of the leaked images. Fearing for their safety, the students took refuge in a classroom. Police and municipal personnel subsequently entered the school and safely removed them from the premises.

The school confirmed that the protest resulted in disturbances, physical abuse of staff and students, and damage to the building. Furthermore, at the request of the Provincial Education Authority, the school dismissed students early and suspended classes for Friday.

The Parents' Association, meanwhile, called an urgent meeting to address the situation and coordinate the next steps.

What did the authorities say? -----------------------------

Once the events were known, the mayor of Puente Alto, Matías Toledo, stated that he went to the school along with the Carabineros (Chilean police), Municipal Security, and the Provincial Delegation, following the student protest.

He explained that the students involved in the incident were taken to a police station as part of the procedure, after attempted assaults occurred during the protest.

Toledo maintained that, although the school had taken measures and filed the corresponding reports, the situation escalated after the students involved returned home.

The mayor also called on parents, guardians, and students to consider the consequences of the irresponsible use of artificial intelligence and affirmed that the municipality is committed to working with the educational community and families to find a solution that will prevent future incidents.

A proposed class-action lawsuit filed in San Diego Superior Court claims Sharp HealthCare secretly recorded doctor-patient conversations using an artificial intelligence tool --- and falsely documented that patients had given consent.

Sharp began using an AI app called Abridge in April of this year, according to the complaint. The tool records conversations between patients and clinicians and then generates draft medical notes. According to the lawsuit, the app captured everything said inside the exam room --- including symptoms, diagnoses and personal details --- and sent the audio to the co

A 23-year-old Aima Yunusbaeva, the victim of a sexualized deepfake, contacted Kaktus.media. She fears she won't be able to protect her rights, and that the perpetrator will be able to avoid punishment by using his connections.

Aima Yunusbaeva said that in July of this year, she learned that her friends had received a message containing a nude photo of her, rendered nude using AI. She claims it was sent by her classmate, Chynybek Azizovich Aaliev. He is, incidentally, the son of Aziz Aaliev, the former deputy prime minister and current chairman of the Uzbek-Kyrgyz Development Fund.

"On July 19th, I received a message from Chynybek saying that about a week ago, an image with my face on it had been accidentally sent to his contacts on social media. I was confused and started investigating what the image was. It turned out to be an AI-generated photo. It showed a naked girl with my face on it. He claimed it was all an accident, that the app had accessed his phone's gallery, selected the photo with my face, created the prompt, generated the image, and sent it to his contacts. At first, I was confused and outraged because I couldn't understand how this could have happened. However, I didn't believe Chynybek's words. During the conversation, he finally admitted that he had personally undressed my "photo" via AI, which he had downloaded from my Instagram page.

I contacted his girlfriend, who was aware of the situation. She provided a correspondence with him in which he admitted that it wasn't an AI that had accidentally created the image. And he himself. When she asked why he did it, Chynybek replied that he "was in a good mood that evening and didn't mind using a classmate's photo," Yunusbayeva said.

The girl admits that she experienced severe psychological stress afterward and, even now, several months later, she experiences intense anxiety.

"The photo was professionally taken, and it's hard to distinguish it from the real thing. His actions caused me severe psychological stress. He caused great harm to my reputation, putting my honor and dignity at risk.

Imagine, you're studying, making plans for the future, and then someone creates a nude photo of you, and everyone sees it. I'm desperate, hurt, offended, and sad that someone could play with my fate like this and not face punishment.

There is all the evidence, including the person's confession, that this was not an accident, but a deliberate image. "I believe he made up the hacking story later to avoid responsibility," she says.

Comment from Chynybek Aaliev

Kaktus.media contacted Chynybek Aaliev, who provided his written comment.

"From the very beginning, I have consistently stated that what happened was made possible by the hackers hacking my Telegram account. Therefore, the question of how the photos were distributed, who gained access to the account, and who directly distributed them must be determined solely through an objective and comprehensive investigation.

How it all began

In May-June 2022, right after finishing school, I had just turned 18. Due to youthful carelessness, I used a Telegram bot that offered photo processing services using artificial intelligence and entered the confirmation code it sent. Without understanding what was going on, I followed the bot's example. As soon as I received the result, I was shocked by what I'd received and immediately deleted the conversation with the bot, forgetting about it. This was my mistake, and I deeply regret it. As it turned out later, it was through this bot that the attackers gained access to my account. Four years later, on the night of July 11-12, 2026, images were sent from my account to several of my contacts. The mailings occurred between 2:26 and 2:38 AM Bishkek time. At the time, I was studying abroad and asleep. According to the system statistics of my devices (Apple), the phone was first activated at 3:25 AM Bishkek time, after the mailings had completed. Telegram was only available on my phone. This data confirms that all actions were carried out without my consent and, moreover, maliciously. This information has been passed on to law enforcement agencies and, in my opinion, requires an objective technical investigation. My father and my girlfriend were among the recipients, which also proves that I couldn't have sent such a message to my closest friends.

"I contacted Aima first."

I contacted Aima myself. I told her what happened and apologized. I understand how distressed Aima was by this situation. Therefore, I was prepared to personally apologize to her father and family. At her request, I immediately posted a message on social media about the hack. They refused and insisted on resolving the matter through law enforcement. I accepted this decision and am participating in the investigation as prescribed.

"My actions are within the law."

From the very beginning, I have been interested in an objective investigation of the circumstances of the incident and have provided all the information I have to law enforcement. I personally filed a report with law enforcement regarding the possible hacking of my account and requested a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances of the access and subsequent mailing. Specifically, I raised the issue of identifying the actual sender, the method and time of access to the account, and obtaining technical data from Telegram that could help establish the circumstances of the sending. I am also willing to provide my phone and other necessary devices for the relevant examinations. My hacking complaint was initially denied. I appealed this decision to the prosecutor's office, and on September 9, 2026, my complaint was upheld insofar as the deficiencies in the investigation were addressed.

How the situation developed

Despite their stated desire to resolve the matter according to the law, the other party announced their intention to contact the media from the very beginning of the investigation, when no circumstances had yet been established. After initial questioning regarding the complainant's complaint, the investigation was transferred from the Oktyabrsky District Police Department to the Pervomayskoye District Police Department: their side expressed a lack of confidence in the investigator. The necessary examinations were conducted. I am awaiting the results of the investigation. However, without waiting for the police's decision, the complainant's side is contacting the media.

Appealing to the Media as a Method of Pressure

The complainant's side refused to resolve the matter through negotiations and insisted on resolving it through law enforcement agencies. However, without waiting for a decision from the police, they are taking the dispute public. Even during the initial procedural steps, including during questioning by the police, the complainant and her representatives expressed their intention to contact the media and publicize the situation. This occurred at a stage when the law enforcement investigation had only just begun, and the circumstances of the incident had not yet been fully established. I cannot and do not wish to claim to know the motives of the other side. However, the sequence of these events gives me a well-founded concern that a public appeal to the media is being viewed as an additional means of influencing the situation before the legally mandated investigation is completed.

I am not interested in a public conflict and am prepared for an objective review of the situation in accordance with the established legal procedure.

Address to Aima and her family

I regret that our conflict first escalated to the police and now to the media. From the very beginning, I felt a moral obligation to Aima, because I understand how painful and upsetting it is for her. And from the very beginning, I sincerely apologized to Aima, hoping that she would understand my mistake, understand that it wasn't intentional, and forgive me. To this day, I apologize to Aima and her family. I urge Aima's family not to try to "get back" at me. "Aima, I ask you to forgive me," his statement reads.

Police Actions

Attempt No. 1

On July 21, Yunusbayeva filed a report with the Oktyabrsky District Department of Internal Affairs. She attached audio recordings of the conversation and screenshots of the correspondence containing Chynybek Aaliev's confession. However, the way law enforcement handled the case raised doubts about the objectivity of the investigation.

"The investigators proposed a meeting between me and Chynybek Aaliev, explaining that they wanted to hear both sides and see his reaction, supposedly to aid the investigation. At the meeting, he stated that he didn't mean to harm me and did it "as a joke," and also claimed that he thought the Telegram bot would alter the photo to show him in a swimsuit.

However, the Main Directorate of Criminal Investigation's cybersecurity specialists had previously questioned his version of the image being created in 2022, as bots didn't yet have this functionality at the time. I raised this point. In response, the investigator claimed that ChatGPT existed at the time, although she was referring to a specialized Telegram bot. The investigator's confusion between ChatGPT and a Telegram bot made me doubt they had even carefully reviewed the case materials. The investigators also claimed that the image was sent to only seven people, although Chynybek himself had previously said he didn't know the exact number of recipients. Therefore, I got the impression that the investigation was trying to minimize the incident.

In the end, the investigators told me, "The Almighty will not forgive him until you forgive him. So find the strength within yourself and forgive him." I believe this was psychological pressure aimed at inducing reconciliation. After all this, I began to doubt the objective nature of the investigation," she says.

Attempt #2

The girl contacted the prosecutor's office due to her lack of confidence in the Oktyabrsky District Police Department's investigation, after which the case was transferred to the Pervomaysky District Police Department. There, a forensic psychological examination was ordered, which Yunusbayeva underwent on August 18, but nothing has happened since.

Lawyer's Commentary

Yunusbayeva's lawyer, Zhekshen kyzy Kymbat, notes that both the Pervomaysky District Police Department and the Oktyabrsky District Police Department violate all principles of criminal procedure law.

"We have principles of criminal procedure law—speed, objectivity, and completeness of investigation. There is no speed. We have a Unified Crime Registry, and all materials are stored electronically for the convenience of the investigator, prosecutor, and court. The investigator or the head of the State Investigation Department in the Pervomaisky District could have simply looked at the material and passed it on to the investigator. But for some reason, we were told that paperwork was needed. So, it took five days for the material to be handed over to management, who only signed it off the next day. Can you imagine how much time is wasted on such basic actions?

I also filed a petition to order a forensic psychological examination of Aima and to conduct a forensic technical examination to determine which phone and which software were used. But as far as I know, a forensic technical examination was never even ordered. We also requested a confrontation between the people who received the information and knew about this situation. As far as I know, they are studying abroad and could have left after the summer holidays. "This wasn't done either," the defense attorney told Kaktus.media.

We filed four motions in total, all filed on August 5th. So, the case hasn't moved forward in two months. Since we haven't received a response from the investigator, we don't know what's going on. He simply isn't answering calls or messages.

The lawyer emphasized that it's still unclear under what specific article the case will be classified.

"It all depends on the severity. There's Article 109 of the Code of Offenses - 'Distribution of Pornographic Materials.' It carries a fine. There's Article 161 of the Criminal Code - 'Distribution of Pornographic Materials.' It also carries community service or a fine. The investigator should have established all of this: what happened, the intent and purpose, and the purpose. In practice, investigators are very lenient toward these kinds of crimes; their approach is, 'So what did he do? He didn't kill or beat anyone,'" she said.

Comment from the District Police Department

The Pervomaisky District Police Department informed the editorial office that due to the expiration of the established review period before the results of the expert examination were received, a decision was made to refuse to initiate criminal proceedings. A new expert examination has also been ordered.

"Concerning this matter, we inform you that the statement of citizen A. Yu. has been registered in the Automated Information System of Housing and Cadastre Inspections. A corresponding expert examination has been ordered for the material. A corresponding legal assessment will be made based on the findings," the police department reported.

When asked why the investigator has not contacted Yunusbayeva, given that she underwent the expert examination almost two months ago, the police department responded that the results of the examination had not yet been received.

The girl fears pressure

In conclusion, Yunusbayeva explained that she was forced to contact the media and publicize the case because she fears that Chynybek Aaliev's connections could be used, and she would be unable to protect her rights.

"The way my complaint was handled at the Oktyabrsky District Police Department, and the way it is being handled at the Pervomaisky District Police Department, raises serious concerns in me that the case could be hushed up. I only want one thing: for whoever created the nude image of me and distributed it to others to be held accountable," she said.

I want my case to be investigated objectively, and for my rights to not depend on the connections, position, or capabilities of anyone on the other side of this case. I fear that the connections of Chynybek's father, high-ranking official Aziz Aaliev, could be used.

When John Stachura drove his rental car through Sixt's futuristic artificial intelligence scanner in Manchester, England, he was impressed. He assumed that such an elaborate contraption must be a foolproof way to document the vehicle's preexisting damage. However, his opinion of the technology disintegrated when he received a $2,200 repair bill after his 24-hour rental.

Reviewing the damage claim, Stachura was certain that Sixt's AI scanner had made an expensive error in the company's favor. It had alerted to deep scratches on the body of the car during his return trip through the scanner. Th

An Anthropic AI model submitted a false tip about an unsolved murder to the Philadelphia police.

The AI reportedly submitted this incorrect information to a public Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) tip line on July 18, but Anthropic didn't discover the behavior until September 28. The police had not seen the tip because it was marked as spam.

Anthropic notified the PPD about the incident on Wednesday and met with the department the following day.

"The company must strengthen its safeguards to prevent similar incidents from impacting city systems without the city's knowledge. The two-mont
