Innocent woman jailed after alleged fake AI texts

A Florida nurse was arrested twice after her ex-partner allegedly used AI-generated texts to accuse her; prosecutors later dropped a bond violation and she was acquitted of the battery charge in December 2025.

A Florida nurse, Melissa Mullin Sims, was arrested twice after her ex-partner filed domestic violence charges and presented text messages he said were from her. Officials later reviewed cellphone records and Sims says the messages were fabricated and generated with AI. Prosecutors dropped a bond violation charge in early 2025, and she was acquitted of the battery charge in December 2025. Known details: - The first arrest followed domestic violence accusations made after the couple’s breakup in November 2024. - A later arrest accused Sims of violating bond based on a text message that her supporters say was AI-generated. - Subpoenaed cellphone records were reported as not showing the incriminating message. - Prosecutors dropped the bond violation in early 2025 and Sims was acquitted of the battery charge in December 2025. Summary: She reports losing work and income during the period when charges were pending and has since advocated for new state rules on the use of AI and digital evidence. Undetermined at this time.
