• About 50 high school students at Bacchus Marsh Grammar had their images altered.
• A teenage boy has been arrested and released pending further inquiries.
• Last month, a Victorian high school student was expelled after he used AI to generate sexually explicit images of a teacher.

• As the commissioner also explains, there are criminal laws that cover this abuse and police may be able to investigate.
• A 2023 investigation by the Stanford Internet Observatory found some AI models are using a database of existing child sexual abuse material to generate new images.

What does the research say?

• Research clearly shows sexual abuse and harassment is a gendered issue.
• The Australian Child Maltreatment Study has found adolescents also make up a substantial proportion of perpetrators of child sexual abuse and sexual harassment.
• For more than 90% of people who experienced peer sexual harassment, it was inflicted by a male peer.

Why is this happening?

• The ease of access to pornography and technology such as AI have likely made this problem worse.
• A 2024 Australian study showed more than 52% of men and 32% of women had reported viewing pornography by age 14.

What can we do about it?

While one part of the solution may come from age verification technology for adult websites, research also shows we need to take a primary prevention approach. This means trying to stop this sort of behaviour from happening in the first place. This necessarily involves changing cultural norms around violence and gender with all young people. Parents and schools are key.

What can parents do?

• Parents need to make space for their children to talk about tricky and concerning things.
• Talking early Help your child feel comfortable about talking to you by starting conversations early.
• As your child grows, conversations about consent, healthy relationships, porn and sexting can also start.
