BBC News also heard of other cases of underage children gaining access to OnlyFans. Leah stopped posting on OnlyFans, but her account remained active on the site four months later, with more than 50 archived pictures and videos. In a statement, OnlyFans said that Leah’s ability to access the site was an “oversight”, and her fake driving licence did not trigger a red flag. It said her account was approved during a transition “from one effective ID and age verification system to a new exceptionally effective” one. In a statement, OnlyFans says it could not respond specifically to the anonymous reports we were told about without the account details.

Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. are cracking down on a troubling spread of child sexual abuse imagery created through artificial intelligence technology — from manipulated photos of real children to graphic depictions of computer-generated kids. Justice Department officials say they’re aggressively going after offenders who exploit AI tools, while states are racing to ensure people generating “deepfakes” and other harmful imagery of kids can be prosecuted under their laws.
