The emergence of generative artificial intelligence has transformed online sexual abuse, facilitating the creation of non-consensual sexual content with extreme speed and realism. Through three case studies—Blaire (QTCinderella), Elliston Berry, and Elijah Heacock—this research paper defines the artificial sextortion abuse ecosystem, from initial exposure to coercion and distribution, and its profound psychological consequences, ranging from anxiety and body dysmorphia to, in extreme cases, suicide. Likewise, this research paper helps erase artificial sextortion, through methods including digital footprint health and reporting mechanisms.
