Hugh Nelson, 27, from Bolton, jailed after transforming normal pictures of children into sexual abuse imagery

A man who used AI to create child abuse images using photographs of real children has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.

In the first prosecution of its kind in the UK, Hugh Nelson, 27, from Bolton, was convicted of 16 child sexual abuse offences in August, after an investigation by Greater Manchester police (GMP).

Nelson had used Daz 3D, a computer programme with an AI function, to transform “normal” images of children into sexual abuse imagery, Greater Manchester police said. In some cases, paedophiles had commissioned the images, supplying photographs of children with whom they had contact in real life.

He was also found guilty of encouraging other offenders to commit rape.

    Most real porn has women who look like kids to me.

    Even the so-called MILFs look about 15 years younger than me and I’m 47.

    You have to get into “mature” and shit to see women my age.

    I’m not into young women. I’m just not. It looks like they’re fucking a high schooler and it’s icky to me.

    And then there’s all the schoolgirl and incest or incest-adjacent shit. “Playing with my stepdad.” No. Just no.

      So… anyone who’s not your age looks like a child to you? That’s kind of fucked up.

        No?

        The majority of the women in porn, who can’t be more than their very early 20s, look like children to me. And they infantilize them too. I’m not sure where you got anyone not my age from.

          Fair, you didn’t explicitly state it. Just implied it with statements about how most people in porn (who should all be adults, unless you’re looking at questionable material) look like children to you. Then make comments about how even the “milfs” are too young.

          Maybe it’s not about them being too young, maybe it’s time you accept that you’re old. You’re putting a lot of your own biases into your judgment instead of looking at it objectively.

            Sorry… why should I look at what I personally want out of the porn I want to see objectively? It’s entirely subjective.

            I mean I’m not sure how I could have been clearer that this was about my personal preferences. I said “to me” twice.

        You gotta give me your yoga instructor because that’s a big stretch!

          He literally said that 32 year old women look too young for him.
