From Fox News:
David Tatum, 41, created the AI images by modifying pictures of ex-girlfriends with sexually explicit images of minors which he had obtained online. Tatum digitally altered images from a school dance and a photo commemorating the first day of school to make them sexually explicit, prosecutors said.
Tatum viewed more than 1,000 files of child pornography titles, all of which contained the phrase, “PTHC,” which stands for “pre-teen hard core.”
He possessed the child pornography from 2016 through 2021, according
