Female Students at Westfield High School in New Jersey Reportedly Targeted with Deepfake Nudes
In October 2023, alleged deepfake nude images of female students were created and shared at Westfield High School in New Jersey. One alleged implicated system in this incident is the Clothoff deepfake app. A victim, Francesca Mani, and her mother, Dorota, began advocating for stronger laws after the school’s response reportedly left perpetrators unaccountable. Since the incident, their advocacy has drawn national attention, leading to trips to Washington, D.C., and bipartisan backing for legislation targeting AI-generated nonconsensual content while calling attention to deficiencies in existing legal protections.
