None of this is true. In fact it's woefully ignorant. NaplesGuy appears to be referencing the old "revenge porn" law. I say "old" because it's no longer in force.
The current UK law is the Sexual Offences Act as amended by the Online Safety Act. Under the current law, the prosecution don't have to prove any of the things claimed above. All they have to prove is that the accused posted the images online, that's all.
Basically, if you post an AI altered "intimate" image of someone online, that's a criminal offence in the UK, punishable by up to 6 months in prison. The bad news is that each victim can be charged separately. In the well publicised case of Brandon Tyler, for example, although the maximum punishment is 6 months he was given a prison sentence of 5 years. His name was also added to the Sex Offenders Register.
What does this mean in practice? It basically means that if you have posted an AI created intimate image online, either in this forum or elsewhere, in the UK you are now a sex offender. You may not have been caught, but in the eyes of the law you are a sex offender.
PS. This is a link to Brandon Tyler's entry on the Sex Offenders Register. Notice it says he was convicted for SHARING manipulated images. That's all the prosecution had to prove, that he shared them.
