Police investigate AI-generated nude photos using Susquehanna Valley students' faces

Police are investigating a case of artificially generated nude photos that use the faces of more than 20 Lancaster Country Day School female students.

The photos were created using AI and then put in a discord group chat with several other boys from the school.

Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams' office signed off on a search warrant last Wednesday that will allow detectives to gather more information.

Sen. Tracy Pennycuick is the prime sponsor of Senate Bill 1213 , which would combat AI -generated child pornography.

It would redefine child pornography as "child sexual abuse material" The Lancaster Country Day School investigated the claims last November but could not prove the photos existed, so administrators closed the investigation without notifying authorities.

DA Adams says school leaders should call police when there is suspicion of any kind of child abuse.

Lancaster Country Day leaders did not respond to our request for interviews regarding this story.

School statement: "We chose not to respond to WGAL ’s inquiries on this matter, out of respect for the privacy of our students and their families" Head of school Matt Micciche sent a message to families the day after our story aired.
