Manhattan D.A.’s Office Seizes Domains Of 12 Illegal Websites Selling AI-Generated “Deep Fakes”
“1,200 individuals had their faces and bodies stolen and turned into illegal pornography on 12 different websites – without their knowledge or consent – and today, my Office is announcing that we have seized these websites pursuant to a court order. These horrific violations of privacy follow victims into their careers and personal lives and take an immense toll on emotional and mental wellbeing,” said D.A. Bragg. “Let me be clear – my office does not tolerate sexual exploitation in any form and will not stand by when businesses profit from the publication and dissemination of non-consensual sexual images and videos, AI-generated or not. Our investigations into these websites and similar operations are ongoing. If you have been a victim, I want you to know that we are here to help. Please contact our Cyber Crime Bureau at 212-335-9600.”

Our Human Trafficking Unit has specially trained prosecutors, investigators, and counselors to seek accountability and help survivors rebuild their lives. Please call us at 212-335-3400.”

D.A. Bragg Announces Hate Crime Indictment Of Man For Antisemitic And Anti-Black Attacks At Central Synagogue
“Places of worship should be safe havens, not scenes of violence and hate,” said District Attorney Bragg. “As alleged, Larry Montes endangered congregants in the middle of services. He is charged with subsequently attacking two people in unprovoked, bias-motivated assaults and destroying religious property, all while spewing bigoted language. An attack on a house of worship threatens an entire community’s sense of safety and the sanctity of these community pillars must be protected. I commend the Jewish community for its resilience amid heightened antisemitism, and I wish the victims a full recovery. As the Jewish High Holidays approach, we will remain vigilant alongside the NYPD to protect our synagogues throughout Manhattan.”
