Cheer mom used deepfake nudes and threats to harass daughter's teammates, police say:
An anonymous cyberbully in Pennsylvania seemed to have one goal in mind: Force a trio of cheerleaders off their formidable local team, the Victory Vipers.
Doctored images were sent to the coach of the competitive squad that appeared to show the teen girls in humiliating or compromising situations that could get them kicked off the team, like appearing nude, drinking alcohol and using drugs, according to the criminal complaint.
In anonymous texts and calls, the bully told one girl "you should kill yourself."
When police unmasked the alleged culprit late last year, they found the bully hiding within the Victory Viper circle.
Raffaela Spone, a local cheer mom whose daughter is on the team, was charged last week with three misdemeanor counts of cyber harassment of a child and related offenses, according to the Bucks County District Attorney.
[...] If convicted, Spone could face between six months to a year in prison, though Weintraub, the district attorney, said the maximum penalty for low-level misdemeanors is unlikely.
Citron said the criminal justice system still lags behind deepfake technology when it comes to investigations and prosecutions. She and Weintraub each said deepfakes and similar technology pose a broader threat to the truth by muddying the information ecosystem.
"It's disturbing to me because we rely on being able to authenticate evidence as a foundation of the criminal justice system," Weintraub said. "If everyday people are capable of using deepfakes, that's going to make doing our job a lot more difficult."

Law enforcement is continuing to warn that a "flood" of AI-generated fake child sex images is making it harder to investigate real crimes against abused children, The New York Times reported.
Last year, after researchers uncovered thousands of realistic but fake AI child sex images online, every attorney general across the US quickly called on Congress to set up a committee to squash the problem. But so far, Congress has moved slowly, while only a few states have specifically banned AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery.
[...]
"Creating sexually explicit images of children through the use of artificial intelligence is a particularly heinous form of online exploitation," Steve Grocki, the chief of the Justice Department's child exploitation and obscenity section, told The Times. Experts told The Washington Post in 2023 that risks of realistic but fake images spreading included normalizing child sexual exploitation, luring more children into harm's way and making it harder for law enforcement to find actual children being harmed.In one example, the FBI announced earlier this year that an American Airlines flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, was arrested "for allegedly surreptitiously recording or attempting to record a minor female passenger using a lavatory aboard an aircraft." A search of Thompson's iCloud revealed "four additional instances" where Thompson allegedly recorded other minors in the lavatory, as well as "over 50 images of a 9-year-old unaccompanied minor" sleeping in her seat. While police attempted to identify these victims, they also "further alleged that hundreds of images of AI-generated child pornography" were found on Thompson's phone.
[...]
The NYT report noted that in 2002, the Supreme Court struck down a law that had been on the books since 1996 preventing "virtual" or "computer-generated child pornography." South Carolina's attorney general, Alan Wilson, has said that AI technology available today may test that ruling, especially if minors continue to be harmed by fake AI child sex images spreading online. In the meantime, federal laws such as obscenity statutes may be used to prosecute cases, the NYT reported.Congress has recently re-introduced some legislation to directly address AI-generated non-consensual intimate images after a wide range of images depicting fake AI porn of pop star Taylor Swift went viral this month.
[...]
There's also the "Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act," which seeks to "prohibit the non-consensual disclosure of digitally altered intimate images." That was re-introduced this year after teen boys generated AI fake nude images of female classmates and spread them around a New Jersey high school last fall. Francesca Mani, one of the teen victims in New Jersey, was there to help announce the proposed law, which includes penalties of up to two years' imprisonment for sharing harmful images.

Cheer Mom Used Deepfake Nudes and Threats to Harass Daughter's Teammates, Police Say - 20210314
A Spanish youth court has sentenced 15 minors to one year of probation after spreading AI-generated nude images of female classmates in two WhatsApp groups.
The minors were charged with 20 counts of creating child sex abuse images and 20 counts of offenses against their victims' moral integrity.
[...] Many of the victims were too ashamed to speak up when the inappropriate fake images began spreading last year. Prior to the sentencing, a mother of one of the victims told The Guardian that girls like her daughter "were completely terrified and had tremendous anxiety attacks because they were suffering this in silence."
[...] Teens using AI to sexualize and harass classmates has become an alarming global trend. Police have probed disturbing cases in both high schools and middle schools in the US, and earlier this year, the European Union proposed expanding its definition of child sex abuse to more effectively "prosecute the production and dissemination of deepfakes and AI-generated material." Last year, US President Joe Biden issued an executive order urging lawmakers to pass more protections.
[...] In an op-ed for The Guardian today, journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley advocated for laws restricting sites used to both generate and surface deepfake pornography, including regulating this harmful content when it appears on social media sites and search engines.
[...] An FAQ said that "WhatsApp has zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation and abuse, and we ban users when we become aware they are sharing content that exploits or endangers children," but it does not mention AI.

Some cheerleading is definitely a team sport. I worked with a young woman who was a dedicated cheerleader, and her list of injuries was gruesome. She had long practice sessions several days a week, so as a consequence was extremely fit - much like a gymnast. Falling from the heights they are projected up to is not painless. It certainly promotes trust in others: some of the routines are dangerous if not executed properly, so you have to trust that your team-mates will do their job. And you have to look as though you are enjoying it all the time.
Like may sports, pushing immature kids into it says more about the parents than the children. Some kids do get obsessive about free-time activities, but others come under a great deal of parental pressure. I am thankful my parents never pushed me in that way.

I've seen a few people in the crowd do more to get the mob cheering and chanting stuff; not that big moments need any help with the crowd. The parents are a big part of the problem.
Cheer leading is only entertainment for a minority group (many of which should be in jail...) nobody sane ever went for them! Can't imagine going to a cheer leading competition; it would be a satirical statement about a collapsing society if it were not happening for real.
You can make any activity a competition with difficult and pointless aspects. You could create a lawn mower racing league and require something that necessitates a pit crew and custom engineering... and you'd get an audience if you had deadly accidents now and then... but not too deadly, so I suppose use rubber blades?

As far as sports... it's entertainment with history of common experience; if you've been in a play you have an understanding and nostalgia watching pro actors on stage but most people have not. They have played the sport they watch at some point. It makes just as much sense as watching pros play video games. One could see former cheer leaders' nostalgia and a desire for danger draw in some audience that wasn't perverted... and remember when boys still wanted to see them flaunting (it sure has progressed? from the when it started.)

Pedophilia is the abnormal sexual attraction to prepubescent girls.
Very few cheerleaders are prepubescent. There seem to be a few in some of those weird national competitions. Those kids normally perform as part of dedicated teams that aren't associated with school sports.
Regular cheerleading starts at what, 6th grade maybe? The girls might not be legal, but they have definitely undergone body changes. They are wearing bras and tampons.
So anyway, I looked up the team, expecting a normal high school. Uh, nope. It's one of those dedicated teams. They are age 3 to 18. It looks like the team is 10% prepubescent. See for yourself: https://www.thevictoryvipers.com/photo-gallery.html [thevictoryvipers.com]

We have a plain English word for this. In the old days, we used it, and it was "underage."
This implied girls that hit puberty but generally were under 18. It is an important distinction to make versus child molesters who go after much younger children, i.e., pre-pubescent, who would not have any interest in sex and are true children versus underage who might be interested in sex, certainly physically capable of it, but adults are supposed to leave them alone because they are far from mature enough to make those decisions versus a full adult (more easily manipulated) -and- their interactions with other people are still controlled by their parents because the children are still "theirs" and being raised -and- you don't want the chance of them getting pregnant.

So sad that you can say that.
Years ago, attending High School somewhere deep in Texas, I was an obnoxious smart-ass, hated by the 99% of the students who scored lower than I did on every exam, homework assignment and project we were given. There were two cheerleaders who went out of their way to be nice to me, and I have never forgotten that. Once during an evening event at the school, the (drunk) QB of the football team had me cornered in a hallway, and was ready to kick my ass, when one of the cheerleaders ran up and convinced him to accompany her elsewhere.
It is not easy to do gymnastics - which is why it is an Olympic sport. It is not hard to learn dance routines, but it does require practice. It is a ballsy thing to stand up and perform in front of people. I'm sure some cheerleaders are leading toxic lives, but some work hard, give it all they have, and care deeply for those around them. We should recognize this.
