Parents slam 'weak' response at The Friends' School after girls targeted in AI deepfake ...

Abc.Au April 28, 2026

Girls at a Tasmanian private school have been targeted in a deepfake incident, with AI-doctored pornographic depictions shared on a boys' group chat, several parents say.

Two parents have criticised the school's lack of a victim-focused response, saying they were encouraged not to tell their daughters they had been identified in the material.

The minister has referred a complaint to the non-government school regulator. Meanwhile, an expert has recommended an early intervention program for youth perpetrators of harmful sexual behaviours.
