  "account": "Police across Negri Sembilan have received five separate reports regarding the alleged distribution of AI-generated nude images featuring over 300 female students. The incident, which came to light in late August, was reportedly discovered by a student who found a smartphone without a password in the school's prayer room. The phone's owner, a Form Five student, had reportedly shared the explicit images to their 17-year-old sister's Instagram account on August 12. The police chief stated that the phone owner, a fellow student, had been suspended. A meeting involving parents and school officials was held, after which they agreed to inform the State Education Department. The school acknowledged that more than 300 students were affected by the incident. However, the parents of the student who found the phone expressed dissatisfaction as they were not fully informed about the status of the images involving their daughters. The police have called for a more thorough investigation.",
