Description
A 19-year-old woman, Sasha-Jay Davies, suffered years of torment after her identity was stolen and weaponized online—fake profiles with AI-generated images flooded platforms like Tinder, TikTok, and Instagram, amassing 100K followers and luring unsuspecting men into believing they were dating her. The culprit, Elha Mai Weston, admitted fault and was ordered by the High Court to pay £10K in damages and cease all impersonation—failure to comply could lead to contempt charges. For Sasha-Jay, the verdict brings closure and compensation after a harrowing ordeal that left her too anxious to leave her home.
