Conflict escalates: Three complaints filed over AI-generated nude photos of Carlos Pellegrini students

The distribution and sale of AI-generated nude images of female students from the Carlos Pellegrini School has escalated to legal action, with three complaints filed with the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Computer Crimes. The victims, some as young as 14, discovered the images circulating on a drive that included their names and prices for the AI-altered or stolen photos. The scandal also involves students from the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, with both buyers and sellers reportedly from that institution.

Reports indicate that packages of ten images were being sold for $1000 Argentine pesos. The situation came to light through social media messages on June 25, and upon returning to school on June 29, the affected students refused to share classrooms with their peers. Protests and sit-ins occurred, and the accused students were initially unable to leave school grounds due to potential aggression from other students.

Following a week of complaints, the involved students reportedly returned to classes. However, a threatening message was found on a desk stating, "You can report us, but we will not stop undressing and selling them." The victims are demanding that the perpetrators be separated from their courses or expelled. While initially seeking an internal resolution within the schools, the situation has now moved to the judicial system, with the prosecutor's office noting this is not the first case of AI-generated image distribution they have handled.
