US college student 'Taylor Klein' (a pseudonym used to protect her identity) was deepfaked onto pornographic videos without her consent.

The videos were posted online, along with her real name, hometown, and college details and describing her supposed desire to hook up with strangers. Klein recieved regular abuse and harassment, and described feeling deep mental anguish, numbness, and concern for her personal safety.

Despite reporting the video to the police, action was not taken due to lack of US federal or state laws against non-consensual deepfake porn. 

Accordingly, 'Taylor' teamed up with another victim to investigate who could have created the deepfakes, suspecting it was someone they knew from their male-dominated engineering programme. 

The incident highlighted how deepfake technology can be exploited for non-consensual porn, the damage that can be inflicted on victims, and their lack of legal recourse.
