·Prosecutors are demanding at least two years in prison for the middle school boy accused of making and distributing the illegal digital content. Prosecutors sought at least two years of jail for a teenage boy who allegedly created sexual deepfakes of his schoolteachers — all of whom are battling with trauma in classrooms, they testified on Monday.
·The underage defendant was charged with producing and editing the fabricated images in violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.
·However, the Juvenile Act stipulates that courts hand down indeterminate sentences that set minimum and maximum prison terms for offenders who commit crimes before turning 19.
·“Even though the defendant is a minor and turned himself in, he created deepfake images of teachers and distributed some of them to third parties,” prosecutors said in the final trial before the verdict, which was held at the Incheon District Court.
·The prosecutors asked the court to hand down a sentence between two years and three years and six months.
