AI-related sexual offences 738/2025

FOI Reference: 738/2025

Request

Please can you provide me with the total number of offences recorded by police, broken down by month, since January 2024, of the following offences below. I’m specifically interested in those offences below relating to artificial intelligence usage, so I would like a breakdown to only include those offences which mention “AI”, “artificial intelligence” or “deep fake” or “deepfake” in the crime MO notes – NB: if the force already has its own AI flag, please use that instead of the keyword search.

For each month since and including January 2023, up to the latest month available, could I have the AI-related offences (as classified using the above search terms):

1. Under Section 66b The Sexual Offences Act 2003 (the offence of sharing or threatening to share an intimate photograph or film of, or appearing to be of, someone - colloquially known as ‘revenge pornography’ – see college of policing guidance here: https://www.college.police.uk/guidance/sharing-photographs-of-people-intimate-state
2. Under Section 66 E-F The Sexual Offences Act 2003 (the offence of creating purported intimate image of adult or Requesting the creation of purported intimate image of adult - basically the creation of revenge pornography)
