A budding filmmaker who used AI to make indecent images of children was jailed for 18 years today – as footage emerged of him admitting to having a ‘warped’ mind.
Hugh Nelson said he was providing a ‘valuable service’ by taking ‘commissions’ from relatives and family friends of youngsters – charging them £80 to turn a real image of a child into a 3D ‘character’ being physically and sexually abused.
The 27-year-old was shown on camera confessing to detectives that his actions had been ‘absolutely grotesque’ after being confronted with evidence about his ‘sick’ deepfake factory.
