A man was sentenced to nearly two decades in prison for creating and selling AI images of child abuse using real photographs, some of which were provided by pedophiles.

Hugh Nelson, 27, of Bolton, England, was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Monday after he was convicted of 16 counts of child sexual abuse, including encouraging the rape of a child under 13, attempting to incite a boy under 16 to engage in a sexual act, making and distributing indecent images, and possessing prohibited images.
