Pennsylvania State Police have charged one of their own with using his work computer to store pornography.
Stephen M. Kamnik, a corporal from Havertown, allegedly kept thousands of pornographic images on a hard drive at his work station in Schwenksville, Montgomery County. Investigators said they uncovered evidence that artificial intelligence generated some of the files; select media was produced with software used to create deepfakes, according to law enforcement.
