ST. PAUL, Minnesota: Molly Kelley was stunned to discover in June that someone she knew had used widely available "nudification” technology to create highly realistic and sexually explicit videos and images of her, using family photos that were posted on social media.
"My initial shock turned to horror when I learned that the same person targeted about 80, 85 other women, most of whom live in Minnesota, some of whom I know personally, and all of them had connections in some way to the offender,” Kelley said.
