New Jersey deputy attorney general charged over AI child sexual abuse material
What happened
Ars Technica reported on October 17 that police say Fitzgerald, a New Jersey deputy attorney general, made and distributed AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) under the handle "thegentlemanpervert" and now faces criminal charges. The charges include possession of CSAM, distribution of such photos or videos, and criminal use of a communication facility. His LinkedIn profile lists him as a deputy attorney general since 2016. Prosecutors say New Jersey, like the US Department of Justice, treats AI-generated CSAM as equally harmful as other CSAM and will pursue offenders regardless of job or title.
