Description
A man from Lichfield who used AI to create indecent images of women and girls has been jailed for more than two years.
Lewis Davison, aged 26, posted a series of pornographic and indecent images of women and a girl on closed Telegram groups that had been run through AI.
In some of the captions on the photos, Davison called for the women to be raped and assaulted.
We turned up at his home and arrested him after the images were reported to us. His devices were seized and he was charged with eight counts of publishing an obscene article and one count of permit taking of pseudo-photograph of a child.
Because of the strength of the evidence against him, Davison was left with little choice but to plead guilty in court. He has now been jailed for two-years-and-two-months at Stafford Crown Court on Thursday 27 August.
He was put on the Sex Offenders Register for a decade.
PC Matthew Asbury dealt with the investigation. He said:
“I’m pleased we’ve been able to apprehend Davison and stop him from causing further harm to women and girls online.
“This type of crime can have a profound impact on victims and I can assure the local community that we will take every possible step to make sure those responsible are brought before the courts as quickly as possible.”
