Overview
- Charlie Clark, 21, pleaded guilty to distributing indecent images of children, eight malicious communications offenses, and unauthorised access to computer material with intent.
- He harvested photos from social media, used AI tools to “de‑clothe” some images, added sexualised text, and posted them on a degrading forum inviting explicit comments.
- One victim was depicted in an image taken when she was 16, and Clark accessed her Snapchat after she logged in on his phone while hers was broken.
- Police arrested him on September 5, 2023, and found an alarming note on his phone along with browsing history about creating naked images using AI.
- The court imposed restraining orders, a 10‑year sexual harm prevention order, and 10 years on the sex offenders’ register, following a late guilty plea three days before trial.
