Deepfakes created and shared by middle school students on Erome

The combined situation

Middle school aged students have created AI deepfake intimate imagery of a fellow student, typically circulated through messaging apps, gaming platforms, or social media. This combination of minor victim and minor perpetrator triggers the most aggressive child protection responses available. When this scenario plays out on Erome specifically, removal proceeds through the statutory takedown process under 47 USC 223a combined with the scenario specific response that school cases require.

Why this combination is high risk

Erome is a primary destination for leaked OnlyFans and other paywalled creator content. Albums can be linked from Telegram and Discord at scale, driving large traffic spikes to individual victims' content. For middle school deepfake cases, middle school aged users have widespread access to free or low cost ai nudify apps that are marketed without adequate age verification. the apps frequently allow upload of any image regardless of subject age.

How removal proceeds

Erome accepts removal notices at abuse@erome.com and through its DMCA contact. The platform processes notices manually and requires the album URL plus identification of the affected images. Minor victim cases receive the highest priority response from the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Removal across major platforms is typically completed within 24 hours.
