Summary
Three young men in Seville used an artificial intelligence tool to manipulate photographs taken from three women’s public Instagram profiles to create realistic images purporting to show the women completely nude. The images were shared among the men and a minor in groups on Telegram, WhatsApp and Discord and were later spread further; the extent of subsequent distribution is unknown.
The court ruled on 2026-10-01 after a plea agreement, sentencing each man to nine months’ imprisonment (execution suspended under conditions). They were convicted of violating moral integrity, the judge cited misogynistic objectification as an aggravating factor, and the men were banned from using Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram and Discord for three years and nine months, must avoid new crimes for two years and complete a sexual-education program; the court noted their admissions and compensation as mitigating factors.
