DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania (WPVI) A Bucks County, Pennsylvania mother allegedly sent deepfake photos and video of her teenage daughter s cheerleading rivals to their coaches in a bid to get them kicked off the team.
Investigators say 50-year-old Raffaela Spone was trying to get the girls kicked off the Victory Vipers, in Chalfont.
Spone is accused of manipulating photos from the social media accounts of three girls to make it look like they were drinking and smoking, and even digitally altered them to make the girls appear naked. The suspect is alleged to have taken a real picture and edited it through some photoshopping app to make it look like this teenaged girl had no clothes on to appear nude, when in reality that picture was a screengrab from the teenager s social media in which she had a bathing suit on, said Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub.
