NT police members allegedly circulated explicit AI video of senior officer
Former Northern Territory Police assistant commissioner Janelle Tonkin takes her old colleagues to court for sharing an AI- generated sexually explicit video that used her professional photograph.
Former Northern Territory Police assistant commissioner Janelle Tonkin has taken her former colleagues to court over a deepfake sexually explicit video that was created using her official NT Police photograph and allegedly shared among serving police members. Ms Tonkin, now president of the Australasian Council of Women and Policing, stated that the incident was part of broader problems within the NT Police Force and was extremely distressing.
The video, which was not an isolated event, was created using Tonkin's professional portrait photograph in December 2025. The Northern Territory Police Force has zero tolerance for bullying and has a zero tolerance policy for such conduct.
