We are bringing this matter to the attention of Swinburne University of Technology regarding its student, Mohammad Nafiz, and serious allegations concerning his involvement, alongside three other former students of bisesj, in the creation and distribution of AI-generated through telegram, discord, Instagram and many more, Which included non-consensual sexual images of approximately 20–25 girls ranging from age 13 to 25, including minors, connected to Bangladesh International School (English Section) Jeddah (BISESJ)

According to statements from affected members, the four perpetrator (which includes nafiz) were involved in creating these AI-generated images and distributing them among themselves and resulting in the accumulation of up to 1,500 illicit files of minors and adults. There are also allegations that the material was used against the victims through blackmail, threat and coercion. The girls' images were reportedly taken and manipulated without their knowledge or consent, turning ordinary photographs into sexualised material and distributing it despite the serious consequences this could have for the girls involved.

These were real girls who never consented to having their images altered or used in this way. They did nothing to deserve what happened to them. Yet, according to the victims and people supporting them, some of the girls have subsequently faced slut-shaming, victim-blaming, harassment, intimidation, and pressure because of the very abuse they experienced.

Instead of being supported, some victims have reportedly been made to feel as though they are responsible for what happened to them. Their pictures were allegedly exploited without their consent, and they are now having to deal with the emotional distress, humiliation, fear, and damage to their privacy that followed.

There have also been serious concerns about the response from some parents and members of the school community. According to statements from affected individuals, some parents of the accused have defended their children and engaged in behaviour described by victims as victim-blaming, slut-shaming, threatening, or otherwise enabling. These are matters that the appropriate authorities should assess rather than the victims being expected to carry the burden themselves.

We are sharing this information so that Swinburne University of Technology is aware of these allegations involving one of its students. We understand that the university was not responsible for the alleged original conduct, and this post is not intended to blame the university for what happened.

Rather, we are asking the university to take notice, review any credible information provided through the appropriate channels, and take whatever action is appropriate under its policies if the allegations are substantiated.

Our concern is also about preventing this from happening to anyone else. Students should be able to attend schools and universities without having to worry about their photographs being exploited, sexualised, distributed without consent, or used to harass them.

We respectfully ask Swinburne to ensure that its students understand the seriousness of non-consensual intimate imagery and AI-generated sexual abuse, that appropriate safeguarding measures are available, and that students who report such conduct can receive support without fear of retaliation.

The victims deserve privacy, compassion, and support. They should not have to defend their character or explain why someone else chose to exploit their images. Their suffering should not become another reason to shame them.

We are not asking for harassment, doxxing, or punishment without due process. We are asking for the matter to be taken seriously, for the victims to be treated with dignity, and for appropriate action to be taken if the allegations are substantiated.

We hope the university will take the necessary steps to ensure that its student community remains safe and that behaviour of this nature is not tolerated.

This is about protecting students, supporting victims, and preventing anyone else from experiencing the same harm.
