Asked by: Laura Trott (Conservative - Sevenoaks)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether she plans to introduce a criminal offence to prosecute individuals who create sexually explicit deepfakes.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)
This Government refuses to tolerate violence against women and girls, which is why our manifesto included a commitment to ban the creation of degrading and harmful sexually explicit deepfakes.
We are looking at options to deliver this manifesto commitment as effectively as possible.
