The story of unprecedented online bullying begins involving the theft of laundry and the creation of AI clones.

A man has been arrested in Massachusetts for harassing, doxxing and threatening a female teacher for 7 years. One of the most shocking aspects of the case was the use of AI to create fake nude images of the victim, as well as create a chatbot with their data on a site specializing in AI for sex chats.

According to court documents, James Florence Jr. posted 128 images online, including fake photos of a naked and half-naked woman. Florence Jr. published the victim's personal details, including her name, home address, phone number, and work information, for more than 1 year, making a total of 687 posts on forums where women are humiliated. The perpetrator also actively stalked the woman on X and Reddit

Some publications were accompanied by headlines calling for "making this woman famous". As a result, users of the sites began to directly harass the woman, sending her threats via email and messages.

In addition, the accused uploaded the teacher's personal data to 2 public chatbots created on different platforms. Bots could give out information about the victim when interacting with users, including their date of birth, home address, place of work, hobbies, and even family circumstances, such as the date of death of the mother.

One of the platforms on which chatbots have been hosted is the crushon.ai website, which positions itself as a platform for communicating with AI characters without filters, allowing users to freely engage in sexual conversations. Despite the fact that the site prohibits the use of real images of famous personalities or ordinary people, this did not stop Florence Jr. from using the victim's name and data in his chatbots.

According to the case file, the persecution of the woman continued for many years. The accused allegedly stole her personal belongings, including underwear, and published their images on the Internet. Florence Jr. has also actively harassed the woman on X, Reddit, and specialized forums where users post photos of women with derogatory comments.

The case demonstrates how criminals have begun to use artificial intelligence not only to create sexual images without permission, but also to reproduce their victims as chatbots. Such bots are used as part of harassment and intimidation, which poses a new threat in the field of cybercrime.
