新泽西州副检察长被控制作和传播AI生成的儿童性虐待材料
“thegentlemanpervert” producing AI CSAM is a NJ prosecutor, say cops
美国新泽西州一名副检察长 Fitzgerald 被控持有、传播AI生成的儿童性虐待材料（CSAM），并涉嫌“非法使用通信设施”，其网名为“thegentlemanpervert”。据其 LinkedIn，他自2016年起担任副检察长，负责保险欺诈等案件的起诉准备。新泽西地区检察官 Joe Khan 表示，该州与司法部立场一致，认为AI CSAM与CSAM危害相同，将不论职业或头衔积极追责。
Fitzgerald’s is a rare case where an official employed by the state’s top law enforcement and legal office has been accused of making and distributing AI CSAM, although some cops have been arrested for the crime. Earlier this year, a Pennsylvania cop was arrested for making AI porn from photos on driver’s licenses, and more recently in Korea, a police officer was arrested for making AI porn, including CSAM, The Korea Times reported.
In New Jersey, the deputy attorney general has been charged with possession of CSAM, dissemination of photos or film of CSAM, and “criminal use of a communication facility,” detectives said.
According to his LinkedIn, Fitzgerald had served as deputy attorney general since 2016, preparing insurance fraud and insurance licensee cases for trial as a state prosecutor. New Jersey’s district attorney, Joe Khan, said in a statement that New Jersey is aligned with the DOJ in viewing AI CSAM as being as harmful as CSAM.
“No one is above the law, least of all someone entrusted with upholding it,” Khan said. “Our office will pursue these cases aggressively and hold offenders fully accountable, regardless of their profession or title.”
