Student Hugh Nelson, 27, is sentenced for turning real photographs of children into indecent images.
A student who used AI technology "in the worst possible way" to turn photographs of real children into "depraved" indecent images has been jailed for 18 years.
Detective Chief Inspector Jen Tattersall, of Greater Manchester Police, said Nelson was "an extremely dangerous man who thought he could get away with what he was doing by using modern technology".Nelson pleaded guilty to various counts of making, possessing and distributing indecent images of children, and three counts of encouraging the rape of a child under the age of 13.
Jeanette Smith, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said it was "extremely disturbing" that Nelson could transform the photographs to create images of "the most depraved nature".
