Paedophile who used AI to undress children was bailed to flat overlooking playground
He admitted making thousands of altered images, including 900 category C files, and the judge said only a custodial sentence was justified.
- On Thursday, Wood Green Crown Court sentenced 32-year-old mechanic Zafer Dogan to two years and four months in prison after he pleaded guilty to creating sexually explicit images of women and children using artificial intelligence software.
- Despite Crown Prosecution Service opposition on three occasions, courts repeatedly bailed Dogan to his Enfield flat overlooking a children's playground where much of his offending occurred, citing the "risk" he posed.
- Prosecutors revealed Dogan possessed more than 5,000 images, including 653 category A files—the most severe—and "digitally altered" photos of 33 women and two children, aged seven and 13, without consent.
- Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley criticized the justice system's "unfathomable decisions" to grant bail, stating, "The children should be put first, not the paedophile."
- Mothers of the victims described feeling "punched in the gut" and "helpless" by the exploitation; Sir Mark condemned AI companies as "grossly irresponsible" for enabling such abuse.
