AI-generated nude images of over twenty girls circulated in the town of Almendralejo in the Extremadura region of Spain, shocking the local community and prompting a police investigation.

Apparently created by a group of eleven local boys in an attempt to harrass, humiliate, and, in one instance, extort young students, pictures were developed using photos of local girls fully clothed, mostly from their personal social media accounts. 

The images were processed using ClothOff, a controversial nudifier application available on the web and freely available on the Apple and Android app stores and distributed on WhatsApp and Telegram.

The impact the images' circulation had on the girls affected was said to vary, with some girls suffering extreme emotional distress and anxiety and loss of dignity and refusing to leave their house due to fear of social stigmitisation.

Told about the photos by their daughters, the incident deeply shocked the local community 

The incident resulted in a police investigation, which resulted in the identification of at least eleven boys involved in either creating or circulating the images.
