Elliston Berry, then 14 years old, woke up on the morning of October 2, 2023 in her hometown of Aledo, Texas, to frantic texts from a friend. Innocent photos of Berry and two of her friends from their social media accounts had been edited using artificial intelligence to make them appear nude.
Within a day, edited photos of a total of nine girls at her Aledo high school were being shared around the school.
