Hugh Nelson sentenced to 18 years

 



A man who used AI to create child abuse images using photographs of real children has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.

In the first prosecution of its kind in the UK, Hugh Nelson, 27, from Bolton, was convicted of 16 child sexual abuse offences in August.

Nelson had used Daz 3D, a computer programme with an AI function, to transform “normal” images of children into sexual abuse imagery.  In some cases, paedophiles had commissioned the images, supplying photographs of real children with whom they had contact in real life.
