A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers.

    Seems to me a kid who’s essentially created child porn and distributed it at school would be a huge potential problem for the school.

      Right, potential problem. So they try to bury it to avoid it becoming an actual problem. The kid fighting back makes it an actual problem, so she gets suspended.

      It’s a fucked up logic, but that’s their reasoning.

      Yeah, when I was a kid if a girl sent a naked photo to a boy and he distributed it, they could both get busted for CP, usually the boy would face a harsher punishment for distribution and the girl could negotiate something else. This image was created totally without the girl’s consent or knowledge, so the boy is the only one at fault

        Although, once alerted and not helping her, the school is at fault as well. And perhaps the individuals, such as the principal.
