Man charged with possession of child pornography after allegedly using artificial intelligence – Moore County News Press

CONROE, Texas A 30-year-old man has been charged with possession of child pornography after allegedly using artificial intelligence to alter an image of a 17-year-old girl, authorities said.

On May 15, 2024, Constable Ryan Gable's Human Trafficking Unit initiated an investigation into Roman Shoffner, who allegedly used an AI program on his cellphone to remove the clothing from a picture of a 17-year-old female, according to a press release from the unit. The altered image depicted the girl's face with a nude body from the neck down.

Shoffner's phone was seized and forensically analyzed. Detectives from Precinct 3 gathered enough probable cause to believe Shoffner created the image with the intention of possessing child pornography. An arrest warrant was subsequently filed.

On June 28, 2024, Shoffner was located by law enforcement and arrested for possession of child pornography. He was booked into the Montgomery County Jail.
