From Sextortion to Deepfakes: Closing the Title IX Gap on Image-Based Sexual Abuse
A student comes to your Title IX office. Sexual images of her are circulating. Maybe she took them and trusted someone, maybe she never knew they existed, maybe an app generated them from a photo on her Instagram. They're on three sites and in a group chat. He's threatening to send them to her parents.
Does your policy cover this? Do you know how to help her? For most institutions the honest answer is not clearly.
Join Protect Privacy AI and The Digital Identity Foundation for a practical 60-minute briefing.
Two virtual sessions, same content. Free.
What we'll cover
What's reaching campuses now — images shared without consent, images captured without knowledge, AI-generated and nudify-app imagery, sextortion, and threats to share. What students report, what they don't, and why.
Where Title IX policy falls short — definitions built around physical conduct, jurisdiction when the harm is online and off-campus, anonymous and unknown perpetrators, and the cases that fall between Title IX, student conduct, and campus safety.
What updated policy language needs to include — definitions covering all three origins, scope, evidence handling, supportive measures, and coordination across Title IX, student affairs, counseling, and IT.
What you can give students directly — detection and removal technology, and what a student can do in the first 48 hours.
Q&A — bring your current policy language.
Who should attend: Title IX coordinators and deputies, student affairs, deans of students, counseling and health services directors, campus safety, general counsel.
