Deepfake and digitally altered nude and sexual imagery is a serious and harmful emerging form of image-based sexual abuse (IBSA). This article reports on a multi-methods and cross-country study of IBSA across the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, with a specific focus on the creation, distribution and threat to distribute deepfake and digitally altered imagery. Our findings suggest this abuse involves poly-victimization and poly-perpetration, and is disproportionately experienced and engaged in by those with mobility and/or communication assistance needs, members of the LGB+ community, males, young people and racial minorities (perpetration only). In this article, we discuss the pervasiveness and harms of deepfake and digitally altered imagery abuse, as well as challenges in legal responses, policing and prevention.

Deepfake 和数字修改的裸体和性图像是一种严重且有害的新兴形式的基于图像的性虐待 (IBSA)。本文报道了一项针对英国、新西兰和澳大利亚的 IBSA 的多方法和跨国研究，特别关注深度伪造和数字更改图像的创建、分发和威胁。我们的调查结果表明，这种虐待涉及多重受害和多重犯罪，并且在有行动和/或通信援助需求的人、LGB+ 社区成员、男性、年轻人和少数族裔（仅限犯罪）中不成比例地经历和参与。在本文中，我们讨论了深度伪造和数字更改图像滥用的普遍性和危害，以及法律应对、监管和预防方面的挑战。
