Someone Created Deepfakes Of Me. What Can I Do?

Card image cap

Yesterday, I (21F) learned from a close friend that one of my college classmates (20M) created several AI-generated, sexually explicit photos and videos of me and shared them in a group chat with guys from his fraternity. Now, dozens of people have seen them. This makes me uncomfortable, as I don’t really know any of the guys involved (outside of having mutual friends and sharing classes with some of them) and I’m not exactly sure what I can do about it since I don’t have any solid evidence if I wanted to file a police report or anything. My friends are telling me I should just ignore the situation because “they’re fake anyway,” but I’m concerned about the reputational damage this might cause if the content ends up outside of the group chat. I’m set to meet with the Dean of our school tomorrow, as concerns about bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct are handled at that level, but I’m wondering if there is anything I could do to protect myself or at least document it. Any ideas?
