 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence.

Paris Hilton backs House push for deepfakes legislation

Supporters of a bill aimed at combating nonconsensual AI-generated sexual imagery called on the House to advance the legislation on Thursday, highlighting the growing threat of deepfake content and the need for legal recourse for victims. The Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits (DEFIANCE) Act, which has already passed the Senate, would give individuals the right to sue over the production, possession, or distribution of nonconsensual explicit deepfake images when there is intent to disclose them.

At a press event, Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Laurel Lee (R-Fla.) were joined by Paris Hilton and other co-sponsors to urge House leadership to move the bill forward. Ocasio-Cortez stressed the need for civil remedies beyond existing criminal laws, such as the Take It Down Act, which made the publication of nonconsensual intimate imagery a federal crime. Lee said the bill addresses potential First Amendment concerns, preserves Section 230 protections for tech companies, and includes privacy measures for victims, such as pseudonym use and redaction of personal details. Hilton, who has faced widespread nonconsensual AI-generated imagery of herself, said her support is rooted in personal experience and a desire to protect her young daughter from similar harms. The event also featured 17-year-old Francesca Mani, a victim of AI-generated deepfakes at age 14, who highlighted the importance of the bill’s provision for financial damages. A recent study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate estimated that AI-generated sexualized images, including thousands of images involving children, have proliferated online, underscoring the urgency of legislative action.
