Southport man jailed for creating ‘infringing’ deepfake images

She added: “I’m not the same person I was before. I worry if a man looks at me for too long and panic that he might have seen the images.”

Police said one of his victims said she felt “unsafe in her own skin.”

“No one has touched me, but I still feel violated and used,” the statement said.

Marshall was sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court this week to two years and two months in prison.

He admitted taking indecent photographs/pseudo photographs of a child and sharing a photograph or film of a person in an intimate state for the purpose of sexual gratification and voyeurism.

Detective Inspector Rory Quigley said: “I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that if you have experienced any form of sexual abuse, or know of a child being abused, please come forward and report it to police.”

“We take all such reports extremely seriously and if you can find the courage to come forward and speak to us, we have specially trained officers who will treat you with sensitivity and compassion,” he added.

Creating sexually explicit deepfake images was made a punishable offense in April.
