Old Tappan man arrested for creating deepfake images of 2 victims

A 37-year-old man from Old Tappan has been arrested after allegedly creating and sharing AI-generated deepfake nude images of two people online. Daniel G. Pfeiffer faces multiple charges, including creating and distributing deceptive visual media, invasion of privacy, and cyber-harassment. Authorities said the social media posts featured the victims' real names and photographs alongside computer-generated nude pictures. The arrest followed a months-long inquiry by the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Cyber Crimes Unit and the Harrington Park Police Department. Detectives searched Pfeiffer's home on Thursday before sending him to the Bergen County Jail ahead of a court appearance.
