Police said the images were made from pictures the woman had posted on social media, some taken when she was a teenager. The investigation began in November after the woman found AI-generated videos and images of herself on a pornographic website. Detectives reviewed 94 images, and the affidavit states that all of them display the victim's face. The suspect, who was already incarcerated for a parole violation, denied wrongdoing and told deputies his phone and accounts had been hacked. Deputies held him in the Grand County Jail for investigation of additional charges, which include 11 counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor and 10 counts of aggravated distribution of a counterfeit intimate image. These are allegations as reported.","tags":[],"date_detected":null,"near_miss":null,"root_cause":null,"root_cause_detail":null,"failure_class_detail":null,"responsible_party":null,"adversarial_actor":null,"input_provenance":null,"time_to_contain":null,"operations_paused":null,"remediation":null,"precursor_events":null},"impact":{"direct_loss_usd":null,"remediation_hours":null,"records_exposed":null,"third_parties_affected_count":null,"severity":"moderate","severity_because":"Moderate: data of another person touched with a bounded scope stated (94 images reviewed by detectives, 88 featuring the victim).","harm_class":[],"affected_description":null,"protected_class_involved":null,"data_categories_exposed":[],"loss_range_usd":null,"reversibility":null,"downstream_exposure_count":null},"evidence":{"sources":[{"url":"https://www.ksl.com/article/news/utah/utah-sex-offender-accused-of-creating-pornographic-ai-images-using-real-person/51589154","publisher":"KSL","date":"2025-12-18","type":"press","title":"Utah sex offender accused of creating pornographic AI images using real person - KSL","archived_url":null,"attachment":"first_report"}],"per_field_confidence":{"event.incident_class":"C","event.trigger":"C","impact.severity_because":"D","impact.severity":"D","event.summary":"C","system.autonomy_level":"D","system.deployment_context":"D","event.detection_method":"D","context.country":"D","system.developer":"D","event.date_disclosed":"D","context.denominator_available":"D"},"field_citations":{"event.incident_class":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"A registered sex offender in Utah has been arrested for allegedly creating pornographic videos and images — including child sex abuse material — using artificial intelligence and pictures of a real person."}],"event.trigger":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"A registered sex offender in Utah has been arrested for allegedly creating pornographic videos and images — including child sex abuse material — using artificial intelligence and pictures of a real person."}],"impact.severity_because":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"Of the 94 images reviewed by detectives, \"88 of them featured the victim, 58 of those items were originally of the victim when she was underage.\""}],"impact.severity":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"It should be noted that all these photos and videos display the victim's face,\" the affidavit states."}],"event.summary":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"A registered sex offender in Utah has been arrested for allegedly creating pornographic videos and images — including child sex abuse material — using artificial intelligence and pictures of a real person."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"Pictures of the woman previously posted on various social media accounts, including some when she was a teenager and earlier, were used by Quinn to create the images, police stated in their affidavit."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"The investigation began in November when a woman discovered AI-generated videos and images of herself on a pornographic website, according to a police booking affidavit."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"It should be noted that all these photos and videos display the victim's face,\" the affidavit states."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"During the interview, Kyler denied any wrongdoing, claimed his phone was hacked along with all his accounts,\" deputies wrote in the affidavit."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"But \"because of the overwhelming evidence contrary to Kyler's statement of innocence,\" he is now being held in the Grand County Jail for investigation of the additional charges."}]},"notes_on_gaps":"No AI system, developer, model or deployment is named; the source describes an individual allegedly using unnamed AI tools, so system fields, agent involvement, controls and remediations are left out. The article date 2025-12-18 appears only in the source header, so date_disclosed is left out; the year of the November investigation is not stated, so no occurrence date is given.
