Students Create AI Fake Profile of Minor to Trap and Assault Teacher
Secondary school students in Chalcis, Greece, reportedly used AI-generated images to create a fake social media profile of a non-existent 17-year-old girl. They lured a male teacher into inappropriate communication and arranged a meeting at the local courts building, where they physically assaulted him after revealing the deception. Authorities are investigating the incident.
What happened
Secondary school students in Chalcis created a fake social media profile of a 17-year-old girl that did not exist, using AI tools to generate digital images and false personal information to make the profile convincing. They initiated electronic contact with a male teacher at their school and after several days of communication sent nude photographs, to which he responded.
The students arranged a meeting with the teacher at the courts building in Chalcis. When the teacher arrived, he found the students instead of the girl. Video evidence shows one student telling the teacher: "In the pants you're wearing, you will never go out with a 17-year-old again." The students then physically assaulted the teacher.
Reported impact
The incident caused shock in the local community of Chalcis due to the violent behaviour of the students and serious suspicions raised about the teacher's conduct.
Index analysis
The case involved the creation and use of a deepfake AI-generated profile depicting a minor as a non-existent person to manipulate an adult into inappropriate communication and sexual exchanges. Students used AI image generation tools to construct a convincing fake identity as a 17-year-old student presenting herself as a 20-year-old cosmetics student.
Governance controls
The teacher's lawyer stated the teacher had not been charged with any offence and had not been sued. The lawyer asserted the teacher did not know the girl was 17 and that she was presented as a 20-year-old studying aesthetics, and the word "student" was never mentioned in their conversations. The teacher filed a complaint against the students.
