Student victims in deepfake case shouldn’t have faced suspect, police told
Law firm says the Seremban schoolgirls are fearful of possible retaliation.
A Form 5 student at a Seremban school allegedly created 200 deepfake images targeting multiple female students, according to reports. Lawyers representing the victims claim police violated standard operating procedures by forcing them to face the suspect during identification, potentially causing safety concerns for the minors involved.
The law firm expressed worry that the suspect might attend classes with the victims and urged the school board to assist with the investigation. Police have questioned the victims, their parents, and witnesses at the Seremban police headquarters, with the principal and senior assistant for student affairs also testifying. The suspect, a Form 5 student, has been suspended from classes but remains under investigation under two relevant acts.
