AI Used to Create Child Abuse Content | San Jose News
Description
A 45-year-old man named Kevin Andrew Benton is facing serious federal charges after allegedly using Adobe AI to generate disturbing fake images of minors, while also possessing hundreds of real child abuse videos. The case was uncovered when an Adobe employee flagged his files as harmful and alerted authorities, leading to a warrant, seizure of his devices, and arrest in June. Prosecutors formally charged him in July, and the investigation continues as officials dig into the full extent of his digital crimes — a chilling example of how AI’s creative potential can be weaponized against the most vulnerable.
