FOI 301985
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 301985
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 4th January 2024. Please find below the response to your request:
- How many reports your force received from people claiming to be the victim of deepfake photos or videos in the calendar or financial years (whichever is easiest) 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
- How many arrests, if any, were made as a result of these reports in those years
For the avoidance of doubt, I am not interested in reports of intimate images being shared without the person's consent - I am purely interested in reports of shared explicit images or videos that have been digitally manipulated or created to look like someone else without their consent, known as 'deepfakes'.
