Deepfake Explicit Images of Middle School Students Created Using AI App in Goffstown, NH
Eighth grade students in Goffstown, New Hampshire reportedly used an AI app to create deepfake explicit images and videos of three middle school girls. Parents say the school district delayed notifying families by a month after learning of the incident in early October.
What happened
Eighth grade students in Goffstown used an AI mobile app to create deepfake naked photos and videos of three middle school girls. The app required only a picture of someone before using AI to 'undress' the person, and the students shared the images with classmates.
The school principal notified parents in early October 2025. Parents say it took the district a month to send a broader notification about the incident to other families.
Reported impact
The three girls experienced psychological harm from the incident. One mother stated her daughter did not want to return to school and was having difficulty, while another said her daughter was nervous about facing her peers again.
Index analysis
The incident involved the use of an unnamed commercial AI app that produces deepfake explicit content. The app operates on mobile devices and requires minimal input—only a photograph—to generate non-consensual sexual imagery.
Governance controls
The school district emphasized its commitment to student safety through its Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) initiative, Second Step programming, and planned assemblies on unspecified topics. Parents criticized the district for the delayed notification and called for education on AI dangers and its impact on peers.
