Telecoms worker who created AI-generated images of child sex abuse is sentenced
- Risto Bergman, a 42-year-old telecoms worker from Finland, was sentenced at Paisley Sheriff Court in May 2025 for creating AI-generated indecent images of child sexual abuse.
- Bergman used a legitimate AI app that drew on a digital library of real, previously shared child abuse images to produce highly realistic category A pseudo-photographs.
- Last month, Bergman admitted at Paisley Sheriff Court to producing indecent images or digitally created depictions involving children, with the material discovered on a computer storage device in his Paisley residence.
- Procurator Fiscal David Bernard emphasized that Bergman produced unlawful content involving children, which contributed to ongoing exploitation and abuse, underscoring that such offenses cause real harm to victims.
- Bergman avoided imprisonment and was sentenced to an 18-month Community Payback Order with strict supervision, and he was registered as a sex offender.
