Man accused of creating computer-generated porn images of several victims

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said a man was arrested after he created computer-generated pornographic images of several victims.

On March 13, deputies said three victims told them that they found computer-generated nude images of themselves online.

Investigators said they determined Sammarth Gautam, took the victims’ photos from their social media accounts and used the software to remove their clothing from the pictures.

Gautam was arrested on Monday and taken into custody by the Lakeland Police Department. He will be extradited to Hillsborough County.

“This man’s despicable actions will not be tolerated here in Hillsborough County,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “I am proud of our investigators who were able to get this man off our streets and justice for the victims whose privacy was disgustingly violated.”
