“Jodie” found images of herself used in deepfake porn – and then faced another terrible shock. She told BBC File on 4 about the moment she realised the person responsible was one of her best friends.
WARNING: Contains offensive language and descriptions of sexual violence
In the spring of 2021, Jodie (not her real name) was sent a link to a porn website from an anonymous email account.
Clicking through, she found explicit images and a video of what appeared to be her having sex with various men. Jodie’s face had been digitally added onto another woman’s body – known as a “deepfake”.
