Report #1 on the impacts of non-consensual deepfake image abuse.

Sonia suffered years of panic attacks and needed counselling after photos, some dating from when she was a teenager, were edited & uploaded on an explicit site with her personal info.

She's come forward because of the Grok scandal.
A woman whose images were deepfake edited and uploaded to porn sites without her consent has appealed to the Government to use every power to stop predators.

She told Virgin Media News the abuse led to years of panic attacks and unwanted contact.
