The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested an 18-year-old Central Florida man for creating computer-generated pornographic images of several different victims.
On March 13, 2024, three adult victims reported there were computer-generated nude images they had found of themselves online.
The computer-generated images were made from the original clothed images of the victims posted on social media platforms. The software utilized to create the nude images took the victims’ original photos and removed the victims’ clothing, according to law enforcement.
After a thorough investigation, a suspect was identified, 18-year-old Sammarth Gautam. On April 22th, he was taken into custody by the Lakeland Police Department awaiting extradition.
“This man’s despicable actions will not be tolerated here in Hillsborough County,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “I am proud of our investigators who were able to get this man off our streets and justice for the victims whose privacy was disgustingly violated.”
