Incident 10131 Report
Essex Man Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Having Generated and Shared Deepfake Pornography of at Least 20 Women and a Minor

2025-04-04

Between March 2023 and May 2024, Brandon Tyler of Essex used AI to generate explicit deepfake pornography of at least 20 women he knew personally, including a 16-year-old. He manipulated their social media photos and shared them, along with their personal details, in online forums promoting sexual violence. He was sentenced to five years in prison in April 2025 under the UK's criminal law against sharing sexually explicit deepfakes, in what is one of the first major prosecutions of its kind.
