The targeted women included heads of state, first ladies, royalty, legislators, government officials, journalists, TV presenters, athletes, entertainers, and other public figures.

Investigators said users could browse material by tags including "rape," "forced," "degradation," and "slave." Those categories are a big reason why prosecutors framed the case as abuse and exploitation rather than a copyright or impersonation dispute.

I’m just curious what law this violates. You can argue it’s weird or creepy or morally bad, and I’m not going to dispute it, but I’m just wondering how it’s against the law?

This seems like it violates the first amendment. This means that it's illegal now to create a satirical image of Trump getting raped by Vance. Or vice versa.

Edit:

Come to think of it, that South Park episode with a naked AI trump is illegal.
