Summary

Paris Shears, a 31-year-old mother from Southampton, reported being stalked from May 2026 by an account that sent her AI-generated intimate images and an AI-generated nude video, along with threatening messages and location data. On 2026-08-03 a parcel left on her street contained AI-faked photos of her, a bag containing semen, and underwear and sex toys that she says were stolen from her home.

Police later identified and arrested 28-year-old Jakob Emmanuel Ward, a long‑time family friend; in October 2026 he admitted stalking causing serious alarm or distress, creating a purported intimate image of an adult, theft and other offences, and was sentenced to 32 months’ imprisonment with a 10-year restraining order. The article reports that police had earlier said the messages likely originated from an IP address outside the UK.
