BATON ROUGE — A Baton Rouge man who allegedly created sexually explicit images of a coworker using AI was arrested Tuesday. 

Bennet Gauthreaux, 55, was arrested after a woman reported that, on Sept. 8, he created artificially generated nude and sexually explicit images of both him and the woman. 

According to arrest records, Gauthreaux allegedly showed off multiple artificially generated images depicting the woman naked, as well as an AI-generated video depicting the two engaging in simulated sexual intercourse.

While commuting to work together, Gauthreaux allegedly displayed multiple artificially generated images depicting the woman naked, as well as an artificially generated video depicting the two engaging in simulated sexual intercourse, the woman told police.

The woman said that she never consented to the creation or use of her likeness in these images and video. Arrest records say that the woman captured the alleged imagery on her cell phone before later showing it to law enforcement.

During the investigation, the woman also provided authorities with text messages where Gauthreaux allegedly made statements demonstrating knowledge, possession and control of generated images depicting the victim.

Police said he later claimed to have deleted the images and videos from his cellphone and from the cloud services of the website where the images were generated.

On Tuesday, Gauthreaux was arrested as a fugitive from the Baton Rouge Police Department by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office.
