Vile paedophile jailed in UK first case was 'lonely in his bedroom'

Hugh Nelson took 'commissions' from relatives and family friends of children as young as four

A sick paedophile who used artificial intelligence to create computer-generated indecent images of real children has been jailed in a 'landmark' case. Hugh Nelson, from Bolton, took 'commissions' from relatives and family friends of children as young as four, charging them £80 to turn a legitimate image of a child into a 3D modelling 'character' using AI face transfer. This 'character' could then be posed and adapted however they wished.

On August 9, he pleaded guilty to 11 charges, including three counts of encouraging the rape of a minor under 13, one count of trying to incite a boy under 16 to engage in sexual acts, distribution and creation of indecent images , and possessing prohibited images. His defence, offered by Robert Elias, painted Nelson as a 'shy', 'gauche' individual with scant experience in real-life relationships.
