The guys, Cornelius Shannon from New Jersey and Arturo Hernandez from Texas, are now officially facing charges. According to the DoJ, they were running two separate online platforms completely independent of each other, sharing fake explicit content of famous actors, singers, politicians, and regular everyday citizens. Law enforcement found a total of 473 digital albums filled with thousands of manipulated photos and videos targeting 140 specific female victims. These two are actually only the second and third defendants to be prosecuted under the “Take It Down” Act, which is that bipartisan federal law Trump signed back in April 2025. The law sets a maximum sentence of 2 years in prison for this kind of cybercrime. US Attorney Joseph Nocella said this case shows that spreading AI deepfake porn is definitely not a victimless crime. The DoJ basically made it clear that this case is setting a precedent, and they’re going to start mobilizing all available federal resources to fight the rise of digital sexual crimes during this AI boom.
