Alberta football coach faces sentence for making AI sex images

A southern Alberta girls’ football coach is facing a sentencing hearing for creating artificially generated sexualized images of some of his players.

A Crown prosecutor told a judge in Lethbridge today that Justin Tillery should spend two years in prison.

Tillery’s lawyer says a community sentence would suffice.

Tillery was originally charged in 2025 with making, distributing, possessing and accessing child pornography, as well as transmitting an intimate image without consent.
