Episode Details

Kayla had just graduated from high school when her dad found images of her on a violent porn site. Except, they weren’t images of her - not really. Someone was posting pornographic deepfakes of her face and likeness without her consent. But when she and other young women went to the police, they were told there wasn’t much they could do. The justice system had yet to catch up to the realities of artificial intelligence. 

But who was behind the deepfakes? It had to be someone they knew. And if the police weren't getting involved, what could the women do about it? It turns out, a lot.

This week on Crime Story, Kathleen speaks with reporters Olivia Carville and Margi Murphy about their podcast, Levittown.
