Two Australian Men Are Charged In AI-generated Child Abuse Images
Two Australian men are charged in a global investigation by the federal police for producing and distributing the AI-generated child abuse images and content. Notably, they are among the 25 other people who have been arrested by the police.
As per the reports, a 31-year-old man from Queensland was charged by the police on the 25th of February, and further, he got the police bail to appear in court on March 19.
Another 38-year-old man from New South Wales was charged on the 26th of February and faced the knock-down to the Centre Local Court on Thursday. Further, he was also released on bail to reappear in court at a later date.
During the investigation, the police found the child abuse materials, images, and content on two men’s mobile phones and other electronic devices. The devices and mobile phones are seized by the police and are under further investigation.
Reports cited that both the suspects are claiming to be unknown to each other. This investigation was initiated by the Danish Police, under the name “Operation Cumberland”, which began in Denmark, Europe, when the local police arrested a Danish national for producing AI-generated child abuse content and selling it online to its users through a subscription service.
The two Australian men reportedly bought the child abuse content from this illegal website. Danish law enforcement then reportedly recognized 273 subscribers in 19 countries and further informed the relevant authorities including the AFP.
Kurt Wesche, the AFP Detective Acting Superintendent, said that “There has been an increase in AI generated child abuse images due to their easy accessibility.”
He stated that “It is getting harder for police to discern if an image shows a real child, and we are concerned AI-generated material diverts our investigative resources from finding real children who are being abused and at harm. Although the children depicted in this material are not real, these criminal networks are still involved in the sexual exploitation of children.”
At the end he highlighted that, “In Australia, it is a criminal offence to create, possess or share content that depicts the abuse of someone aged under 18; it is child abuse material irrespective of whether it is ‘real’ or not.”
