A SCHOOL in Johor admitted that it had been slow in taking action when one of its students was accused of spreading AI-generated pornographic images of his classmates, Sin Chew Daily reported.
Foon Yew High School chairman Tong Sing Chuan admitted that the Chinese independent school was sluggish in addressing the matter and promised reforms.
“Many parents are concerned about this matter. The board is also saddened (that this happened).
“I stress that the board will not accept or tolerate any form of wrongdoing,” he said.
Earlier, it was reported that a 16-year-old male student from the school was arrested in April for using AI to create and sell pornographic images of his female schoolmates and alumni.
About 30 to 40 female students and alumni are believed to have become victims.
Following the incident, the principal resigned on April 12.

The woman reportedly called off her wedding and will be getting herself tested for sexually transmitted infections.
