Summary
A substitute teacher in Los Banos, California, Luis DeSantiago, told reporters that a sexualized AI-generated image made to resemble him circulated among students and later resurfaced while he was substitute teaching at another local school. The article says the image incorporated elements of an older photograph of him that had been manipulated to depict him in lingerie and a suggestive pose.
DeSantiago said he first learned about the altered image in March, brought the matter to middle school administrators after it was shared online, and that the image continued to circulate and was later sent to him through Apple’s AirDrop feature during class. He said he stopped accepting assignments at the middle school and did not feel safe returning to the district; the specific schools and district were not named in the report.
