Summary
A private school in Pennsylvania, Lancaster Country Day School, is under scrutiny after a 15-year-old student allegedly used AI to create explicit, manipulated images of female classmates.
The incident led to the resignation of the school’s head and board president, a student protest, and a criminal investigation.
The suspect’s phone was seized, and authorities are working to address the case.
The controversy highlights growing concerns over AI misuse, as Pennsylvania prepares to enact a law criminalizing AI-generated child exploitation material.
The school is offering counseling and reviewing safety policies.
Story kind of buries what happened… asshole was reported doing this in 11/23. School officials did nothing, and they went on to victimize FIFTY girls in a school of about 600.
Nothing was done for almost a year(!) Parents found out in 5/24 and action was finally taken 8/24.
Parents demanded school officials step down, and they delayed doing that too…
