High school defends staying silent while boys made AI nudes of 59 classmates
One of the first schools to shut down after students were found making AI nudes of female classmates is now asking a court to toss a lawsuit filed by victims who claimed that the school stayed silent for months while the emboldened boys targeted many more girls. In a motion to dismiss this week, Lancaster Country Day School (LCDS)—a private K-12 school in Pennsylvania with fewer than 600 students—argued that it was false to say the school never reported the harm to law enforcement.

Boys at a private high school in Pennsylvania used AI to create fake nude images of 59 female classmates. The school learned about the images months ago but did not tell parents or police right away. Victims sued the school, saying it stayed silent and allowed the abuse to continue. The school now asks the court to dismiss the lawsuit, saying it did report the tip to the state attorney general.
