"The images falsely depicted the alleged victims in the nude"

A Pennsylvania mother has been criminally charged over allegations that she created “deepfake” videos of girls on her teenage daughter’s cheerleading squad and sent them to the team’s coaches in an effort to force the girls from the squad.

The images falsely depicted the alleged victims in the nude, drinking alcohol, and smoking.

Prosecutors say Raffaela Spone, 50, of Chalfont, created fake videos and photos falsely depicting at least three of her daughter’s teammates on the Victory Vipers cheerleading squad, and sent them anonymously to coaches and the girls themselves, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
