PEDO Man Who Made Depraved Child Images With AI Jailed

A student who used AI technology "in the worst possible way" to turn photographs of real children into "depraved" indecent images has been jailed for 18 years.

BBC 29 OCT 2024







Hugh Nelson, 27, from Bolton, used a computer programme to generate the images which he shared and sold online to other paedophiles over an 18-month period, making 5,000PDS



Bolton Crown Court heard the graphic design student, who pleaded guilty to 16 child sexual abuse offences, also encouraged the rape of children in online chatrooms.


Detective Chief Inspector Jen Tattersall, of Greater Manchester Police, said Nelson was "an extremely dangerous man who thought he could get away with what he was doing by using modern technology".

Nelson pleaded guilty to various counts of making, possessing and distributing indecent images of children and three counts of encouraging the rape of a child under the age of 13.

He also admitted to a count of attempting to cause a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity and one of publishing an obscene article.

Nelson, of Briggsfold Road, was sentenced to 18 years in jail, including six years on licence, and was placed on the sex offenders register.



Took Commissions

Nelson used a computer programme to create the images and sold or exchanged them in an encrypted chatroom for paedophiles.

The court heard he took requests from people who wanted him to create explicit images of children being harmed both sexually and physically.

His offences were uncovered when he began speaking to an undercover police officer in May last year.

Nelson told the officer he took commissions from customers for the images with some requests coming from France, Italy and the United States.

Prosecutor David Toal said: "The defendant said he had over 60 characters in total, ranging from six months to middle-aged, and he charged ?80 to create a new character."

Nelson was arrested at his home in Egerton in June 2023 and his devices were seized and examined.

He told officers his offending "had got out of control" after he had met other paedophiles online.







His defence lawyer Bob Elias said he was a "lonely, socially isolated" man who had "plunged down the rabbit hole to this sort of fantasy life and became completely engrossed in it".
