A former teacher was arrested in France for making sexual advances toward a 14-year-old girl created by AI
In France, a 66-year-old former physical education teacher was taken into custody after making sexual advances to a girl he believed to be 14 during an online conversation. It turned out that the teenager’s profile was actually run by a male influencer who used artificial intelligence to generate a female face and voice.
This was reported by the BBC.
The former teacher, identified as Dominique B., turned himself in to the police a day after a recording of his conversation with the “girl” was shared on social media and streaming platforms.
The account was created by the influencer FINNYZYY, who is known for content exposing people suspected of having a sexual interest in minors. To do this, he used female faces and voices superimposed using AI.
The video shows Dominic B. sitting in a chair and talking to the “girl.” The blogger himself was in front of the camera with a filter turned on—he had to partially cover his chin to hide his beard and make the image more convincing.
Despite this, the former teacher did not suspect any deception.
The conversation lasted about 40 minutes. According to media reports, over 40,000 people watched the live stream, and after the video was published, it garnered about a million views.
During the conversation, Dominic B. suggested that the “girl” meet him near the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris. He also asked if she would like to kiss him, if she had ever sent nude photos to friends, and if she would like to see him without clothes.
When the girl reminded him that she was supposedly only 14 years old, the man replied that many girls “younger than her had already had sex.”
Some viewers recognized the man and reported him to Pharos—a French government service for reporting illegal content online.
However, even before law enforcement intervened, Dominique B. turned himself in to the local police station.
The prosecutor for the city of Vesoul stated that the man could face charges of sexual harassment of a person under the age of 15, as well as attempting to obtain pornographic images of a minor.
Dominique B. previously worked for the National Union of School Sports in France (UNSS). His case has also sparked a debate regarding the ethics of such exposure methods.
FINNYZYY himself stated that his goal was “to raise awareness… so that people understand how serious the problem of child sexual abuse is.”
It is currently unclear how the fact that the man was communicating not with a real underage girl but with an adult man who used AI to create her image might affect the case.

Earlier in Kyiv, law enforcement officers detained a mobilized serviceman who had left his unit in the Kharkiv region without authorization and, according to the investigation, began collaborating with the Russian side by carrying out tasks related to the registration of Starlink terminals.
Law enforcement officers used their service firearms to repel an attack during a call in the village of Seredniy Bereziv, Kosiv District. The incident occurred after medical workers complained about the aggressive behavior of an unknown man who threatened them with violence.
