What happened
Deputies in Livingston Parish, Louisiana, said Marrero resident Haydee Ortiz was initially treated as a victim before investigators allegedly linked her to an online impersonation and extortion campaign involving purportedly AI-generated sexual images and violent threats. Police said sexual media depicting one victim was sent to family and friends, while a person was threatened with rape or bodily harm unless money was paid.
