    You know, I read the article, found your comment, upvoted it because I would have been interested in the details of how she got caught, and then saw it's the same article. This does not go into the details of how she got caught; that is dealt with only in this single sentence: > The videos were analyzed, and detectives were able to determine they were “deepfakes” — digitally altered but realistic-looking images — created by mapping the girls’ social media photos onto other images, the Philly Inquirer reported. I'm glad we can undo upvotes now, I guess.

      Literally the paragraph after the one you quoted: > Officers were able to execute multiple search warrants that allowed them to trace the text messages back to Spone’s IP address and then her cell phone, police said.

        That's a question of how they attributed the images to her. It's not a question of how they determined that she faked the images.

      The news article links to: https://www.inquirer.com/news/bucks-county-raffaela-spone-cyberbullying-deepfake-20210312.html https://www.inquirer.com/news/bucks-county-raffaela-spone-cy... Which IMO does a much better job of explaining how she got caught.
