Summarised from LancsLive's report · Updated 15 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

A supply teacher has been jailed for six years after admitting 21 child sex offences including upskirting and generating sexualised deepfake images of pupils.

Abusali Rahman, 37, was jailed at Bolton Crown Court for six years after admitting 21 child sex offences. The former supply teacher used his position at various schools and colleges in north-west England to find information about pupils, locate them on social media and use their photos to create sexualised deepfake images using AI technology. He also took covert photographs underneath the clothing of pupils without their knowledge.

Police received reports from concerned parents on 2 March 2025 about social media accounts showing images of school pupils. When officers seized Rahman's devices, they found deepfake images where teenage children's faces had been placed onto adults' bodies in sexual situations. His files contained personal details of female pupils including names and addresses. Officers also discovered numerous upskirting images, some of which he had shared on social media. Rahman created a document in May 2025 promoting the sale of female sexual content online for a one-time payment of £20.

The court imposed a 20-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order to prevent further offending.
