Summary
A Brisbane man, Antonio Rotondo, was found guilty by a jury of 17 offences after using an AI deepfake program to modify public photos of women and schoolgirls to add nudity or sexualised elements and emailing the images to the schools where the victims worked or had attended. The jury heard he sent the AI-rendered images to multiple school administrators and a fashion event on 2023-09-10; charges included stalking and distributing intimate and child exploitation material, including an image of a 13-year-old girl altered to be sexually degrading. Rotondo, a former software developer who largely represented himself at trial, was remanded in custody with sentencing scheduled by the court.
