Former Mississippi teacher Wilson Jones used artificial intelligence to create explicit videos of his own middle school students, a scheme uncovered by a school monitoring system that flagged a "severe sexual alert" from his computer. Investigators say he used the students' real faces and typed detailed, explicit prompts into an AI website to generate the material. With his federal trial approaching, Jones made a shocking decision that would change his case forever. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the horrifying evidence and the teacher's last-minute plea with former federal prosecutor and law professor Mary Fan.
