High school defends staying silent while boys made AI nudes of 59 classmates

A private Pennsylvania high school is being sued by students whose classmates made AI-generated nude images of them, with the school arguing it had no legal obligation to report the incident to police. The school received a vague tip from the state attorney general's office, interviewed one accused student who denied involvement, and then closed its investigation without warning parents or contacting local police, while at least 59 girls were targeted with deepfake images. The case highlights a gap in current state law, as AI-generated child sexual abuse material is not explicitly defined as child abuse that schools must report, though lawmakers are working to change this. Two male students have since pleaded guilty to felony counts of sexual abuse of children, and the victims argue the school violated their rights by staying silent and effectively obstructing the investigation.
