Woman Uses AI Image in False Sex Attack Claim
Woman Uses AI Image in False Sex Attack Claim
The News
A Florida Woman contacted police earlier this month to report that a male assailant had barged into her home, knocked her to the ground, and then committed a sexual assault.
While the attacker was a stranger, the woman said, she was able to take a photo of the suspect while he was seated on the couch in her St. Petersburg apartment.
But a subsequent police examination of the image provided by Schinault revealed that “the photo was AI generated via ChatGPT,” according to an arrest report. Additionally, the photo was found in “a deleted folder dated...days before she alleged the sexual battery took place.”
Schinault, seen above, was arrested for falsely reporting a crime. She spent a night in jail before posting $1000 bond, records show.
Timeline
“Multiple officers and forensic technicians responded to the scene” where Brooke Schinault, a 32-year-old mother of two, said the October 7 attack occurred.

Police and court documents do not include a motive for the bizarre incident.
In a recent post on her Instagram page, Schinault noted that October is domestic violence awareness month and that she had for years been in an abusive relationship. “He sexually assaulted me but all I can say is I survived I made it out,” Schinault wrote.
