Lancaster Country Day School Seeks Dismissal of AI Nudes Suit Involving Fewer Than 600 Students

Summary
Lancaster Country Day School asked a Pennsylvania court this week to throw out a lawsuit accusing it of staying silent for months as boys used AI to target female classmates.
The school said the original tip came from the Pennsylvania attorney general's office, not from victims or parents, and identified only one suspected boy without naming any girls.
LCDS argued it investigated within its limits, interviewed the accused student and his mother, reported its findings back to the attorney general, and never saw the images because the activity allegedly happened off campus.
The motion also says the school had no duty to alert local police because Pennsylvania reporting rules cover actual child abuse, and AI-generated images do not yet fall under that definition.
The suit stems from one of the earliest school AI-nudes scandals to force a shutdown, after two male students later pleaded guilty.
