Mexican women are outraged that judges acquitted 19-year-old Diego “N” for selling “deepfake” sexual images of his former classmates.
The National Polytechnic Institute student sexually exploited the women by altering photos of eight of his classmates. A total of 160,000 images and 20,000 videos of the like were found in his possession.
Yet, Judge Francisco Salazar Silva acquitted the perpetrator based on an alleged absence of witnesses to prove that he committed the crimes against two of his eight victims.
The hearing for the third victim of Diego “N” is scheduled for December 9.
