How a young woman was targeted by an online abuser who created pornographic deepfakes.

Kate West tells the story of Jodie - a young woman who was targeted by an online abuser who created pornographic deepfakes.

Jodie had everything - a good job, great friends and a busy social life. But her world was turned upside down when she was targeted by an online abuser who posted pornographic deepfakes of her online. Initially turned away by the police, she turned detective herself - but nothing could prepare her for what she eventually discovers. She now struggles to trust anyone. And what happened to Jodie could happen to any of us. Here she tells her story for the very first time.
