ATLANTA, Ga. — A New York man is facing a federal cyberstalking charge after prosecutors allege he carried out a months-long online harassment campaign involving fake social media profiles, AI-generated nude images, spoofed accounts, and racist messages targeting a Georgia college student.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, Anthony Belford, 21, of New York, appeared in federal court on June 10, 2026, after a federal grand jury returned an indictment on June 3 charging him with one count of cyberstalking.
Federal prosecutors allege that between January and March 2025, Belford devised and executed a scheme using fraudulent social media and email accounts to harass, intimidate, and cause substantial emotional distress to the victim.
According to court documents, Belford allegedly created fake social media accounts and used them to spread false information within the victim’s community, portraying the victim as racist while also sending racist and derogatory messages to student organizations while impersonating the victim.
Prosecutors further allege that Belford repeatedly created and distributed AI-generated nude images depicting the victim. Authorities allege he established fraudulent social media profiles that appeared to belong to the victim and used those accounts to circulate the images online.
Federal authorities also allege Belford attempted to increase the reach of the campaign by using spoofed accounts on an online forum to direct community members to fabricated content and false profiles distributed across multiple social media platforms.
The case comes as law enforcement agencies continue to investigate the growing use of artificial intelligence technologies in criminal activity, including online impersonation, harassment campaigns, fraud schemes, and the creation of nonconsensual intimate imagery.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.
Federal officials noted that cyberstalking offenses can involve the use of electronic communications, social media platforms, email services, online forums, or other digital technologies to harass, threaten, intimidate, monitor, or cause substantial emotional distress to another individual.
Authorities also emphasized that sharing or threatening to share intimate images without consent, including AI-generated images, may violate federal law. Victims are encouraged to report such conduct to local law enforcement and the FBI.
An indictment is merely an allegation. Anthony Belford is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

This is serious. College is difficult enough without having to deal with things like this. I hope when this ends up in court if this person is found guilty that his penalty will fit his crime. I have the feeling that we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things like this. As people start to figure out how to use AI, I can see things like this becoming more prevalent. That is why this report is so important. The public needs to know what to do if confronted with a situation like this.
Thank you for this article.
You’re very welcome, Chris.
You are absolutely right. I think you raise some very important points. College can already be a challenging environment without someone having to deal with harassment, impersonation, or the distribution of fabricated content. Cases like this also highlight how rapidly evolving technology can be misused in ways that were difficult to imagine just a few years ago.
I agree that we may only be seeing the beginning of these types of cases as artificial intelligence tools become more widely available and easier to use. That makes public awareness increasingly important. The more people understand the risks, the warning signs, and the resources available to them, the better prepared they are to respond if they find themselves targeted by similar conduct.
Thank you again for reading and for taking the time to comment, Chris. I hope you have a great night and day ahead. 😎
You’re welcome, John, and thank you for this good response. Like you stated, the public is going to have to become aware of things like this and aware of any resources available to them if targeted.
Thanks again, John, and I hope you have a great night and day ahead, too!😊
