> “The videos or the images already existed in some form and then our allegation—this is of course subject to proof at trial, she’s innocent until proven guilty—but our allegation is that Mrs. Spone took existing images from existing social media from these three victims’ existing social media accounts and manipulated them,” Weintraub said. > The statement is similar to claims made by Engelhart to the Daily Dot that Spone allegedly used legitimate video as a basis for the deepfake. Police did not know whether the alleged victim’s face was added to a video of another young female vaping or if a vaping pen and smoke was digitally added to a legitimate video of the alleged victim. If you're saying that she started with one video or image that was publicly accessible and modified it, I'd expect them to have the original video or image so they could tell what was added.
