Diego “N” Acquitted of Sexual Offense Against IPN Students Using AI
Student Accused of Using AI to Create and Distribute Explicit Content Walks Free on Some Charges
Mexico City, Mexico – A student accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) to manipulate photos of female classmates and distribute them as explicit content has been acquitted of two charges of sexual intimacy violation. However, Diego “N” remains in custody as at least six other investigations against him are pending.
The Mexico City Attorney General’s Office (FGJ) reported that Diego “N” was found in posession of a tablet containing over 1,000 intimate photos of women aged 17 to 25. Authorities allege he used AI software to modify these images, creating explicit content that was then sold or shared without the women’s consent.

Diego “N” was arrested in October 2023 and faces additional charges, including human trafficking for the purpose of child pornography. The FGJ seized the tablet, along with 166,000 AI-modified images and 20,000 pornographic videos distributed without consent.
Olimpia Coral, co-founder of Defensoras Digitales and the National Front for Sorority, a key advocate for the Ley Olimpia (Olimpia Law) which aims to combat online gender-based violence, expressed her outrage at the partial acquittal. Coral, who has closely followed the case, stated: “No hubo justicia habrá revolución” (There was no justice, there will be revolution).
The Ley Olimpia, named after Coral, was enacted in Mexico in 2020 to address the growing problem of online sexual violence against women. The law criminalizes the non-consensual sharing of intimate images and videos,as well as cyberstalking and harassment.
This case highlights the evolving challenges posed by AI technology and its potential for misuse in perpetrating online abuse. As AI becomes increasingly sophisticated,it is crucial to strengthen legal frameworks and raise awareness about the dangers of digital violence.
