A U.K. court has sentenced 26-year-old Brandon Tyler from Essex to five years in prison for creating and sharing obscene deepfake content of more than 20 women. Using AI-powered tools, Tyler altered their images and posted over 170 explicit videos and photos across online forums promoting rape culture.
UK Man Jailed for Creating Obscene Deepfakes of Over 20 Women
In one instance, he asked forum members to vote on which woman should be gang raped. The court called his actions deeply humiliating, with Judge Alexander Mills saying, “Your conduct is a clear example of toxic masculinity.”
The sentencing comes as Netflix’s show Adolescence shines a spotlight on the rising influence of online misogyny and figures like Andrew Tate among UK youth.
Prosecutor Ms. Farrelly said Tyler hunted for public photos, modified them, and posted victims’ real names, usernames, and phone numbers online. His actions were exposed after he accidentally included his Instagram handle in a screenshot.
Two victims emotionally testified, sharing how the abuse damaged their lives and relationships.
