Hugh Nelson, 27, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for creating and selling child sexual abuse material using AI-driven modeling software and photographs of real children.
The judge described the images as 'harrowing and sickening', highlighting the extreme depravity involved and expressing concern about potential real-world abuse linked to Nelson’s actions.
Nelson was caught during an undercover operation when he attempted to sell CSAM to a police officer, boasting about the violent nature of the images he created.
This prosecution marks a significant moment in the UK’s legal response to evolving technologies, showing how AI can be misused to create abhorrent content.
