The woman told police the sexual activity shown in the video never happened and that she never gave Gauthreaux permission to create nude or sexually explicit images or videos of her. She used her own phone to record what he showed her and later gave that evidence to police. Investigators said they found AI-generated nude images of her, along with other images showing her and the man in sexual situations. The Baton Rouge Police Department investigation began after she reported the allegations Sept. 8. Bennet Gauthreaux is accused of one felony count of unlawful deepfakes under Louisiana law. These are accusations in an arrest warrant, not findings of a court.","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 test: data of another person (the co-worker's images) was touched, and the scope is bounded to her as the one affected person.","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.wafb.com/2026/09/28/louisiana-man-accused-creating-sexual-deepfakes-co-worker-showing-them-her/","publisher":"WAFB","date":"2026-09-28","type":"press","title":"Louisiana man accused of creating sexual deepfakes of co-worker and showing them to her - WAFB","archived_url":null,"attachment":"first_report"}],"per_field_confidence":{"event.incident_class":"C","event.detection_method":"C","context.country":"C","impact.severity":"D","impact.severity_because":"D","event.summary":"C","system.autonomy_level":"D","system.deployment_context":"D","event.trigger":"D","system.developer":"D","event.date_disclosed":"D","context.denominator_available":"D"},"field_citations":{"event.incident_class":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"A Louisiana man is accused of using artificial intelligence to create nude images and a sexually explicit deepfake video of a female co-worker, then showing the material to her, according to an arrest warrant filed in East Baton Rouge Parish."}],"event.detection_method":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"The Baton Rouge Police Department investigation began after the woman reported the allegations Sept. 8."}],"context.country":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"A Louisiana man is accused of using artificial intelligence to create nude images and a sexually explicit deepfake video of a female co-worker, then showing the material to her, according to an arrest warrant filed in East Baton Rouge Parish."}],"impact.severity":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"Investigators said they reviewed the material and found AI-generated nude images of the woman, along with other images showing her and Gauthreaux in sexual situations."}],"impact.severity_because":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"Investigators said they reviewed the material and found AI-generated nude images of the woman, along with other images showing her and Gauthreaux in sexual situations."}],"event.summary":[{"source_index":0,"quote":"A Louisiana man is accused of using artificial intelligence to create nude images and a sexually explicit deepfake video of a female co-worker, then showing the material to her, according to an arrest warrant filed in East Baton Rouge Parish."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"The woman told police the sexual activity shown in the video never happened and that she never gave Gauthreaux permission to create nude or sexually explicit images or videos of her."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"She used her own phone to record what he was showing her and later gave that evidence to police."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"Investigators said they reviewed the material and found AI-generated nude images of the woman, along with other images showing her and Gauthreaux in sexual situations."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"The Baton Rouge Police Department investigation began after the woman reported the allegations Sept. 8."},{"source_index":0,"quote":"Bennet Gauthreaux, 55, of Pierre Part, is accused of one felony count of unlawful deepfakes under Louisiana law."}]},"notes_on_gaps":"The sources do not name the AI tool, its developer, model, or version, so no system fields are filled. The sources describe a human user creating deepfakes, not an autonomous agent, so agent_involved is false and no failure class is given. The incident date is not stated; the report date Sept. 8 has no year in the source, so no detection date is written. The article date and disclosure date are not stated in the text. Country US is inferred from Louisiana and East Baton Rouge Parish. Severity moderate is my judgement: one co-worker's images are touched with a bounded scope. No controls held, failed, or were missing in the sources, and no provider or deployer remediation is reported. All facts are accusations from an arrest warrant and press coverage, and the man is not shown to be convicted. The ordering of the deletion message relative to the report is not stated.
