What happened

Dutch reporting in March 2024 identified roughly 70–80 prominent women, including politicians, presenters, athletes, celebrities, and members of the royal family, as reportedly depicted in pornographic deepfake videos made by using AI to place their faces on performers' bodies. Some videos had more than 100,000 views. Several women said they had not known the videos existed and filed or planned police reports.
