A Nevada Congressional GOP candidate is suing his former opponent, claiming he’s responsible for creating deepfaked audio of him and calling him a “sexual predator and deviant” who “seeks out incestuous relationships” with women and their teenage daughters on a website set up to smear him in the run-up to the election.
John Lee filed the complaint on Monday, one day before the election, accusing his primary election opponent and far-right politician David Flippo and political blogger Lou Colagiovanni of defamation, as first reported by the Nevada Independent. The complaint claims that Flippo’s campaign representatives approached Lee’s in December 2023, and Flippo’s campaign admitted that they listened to the audio file. Lee’s complaint goes on to claim that Colagiovanni approached Flippo’s team with the file, and offered to sell it to them for $20,000.00. Flippo then used the file to create and publish “the false and offensive Website,” Lee claims.
We asked the audio team at Reality Defender, which analyzes AI-generated media, to listen to the audio. "There are obvious edits throughout the audio,” they said. “However, the audio itself seems to be a real conversation, with no obvious signs of generative audio. The male voice stammers consistently throughout the audio. His voice appears shaky and breathy. At times, there is hesitation, very natural response to interruptions from the female counterpart and many other such natural non-verbal aspects of speech."
