In response to queries from The Straits Times, school principal Ong Kim Soon said SSP is "aware of the incident involving the creation and sharing of deepfake photos by our student-athletes".

"The school does not condone such harmful behaviour," he said, adding that it has launched a probe and lodged a police report.

The police, in response to queries from ST, confirmed that a report was lodged and investigations are ongoing.

A reader who identified himself as a parent of a victim had alerted ST in an e-mail on Nov 12 about the deepfake nude images that were being circulated.

"Many parents of affected female students in Singapore Sports School are making police reports about deepfake nude photos of their daughters generated by male students from the school," said the parent.
