SINGAPORE \u2013 A man who allegedly generated a fake photograph of a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir was charged in court on Sept 29.<\/p>\n
Ye Lin was handed one charge for transmitting a false message, and another for obstructing the course of justice.<\/p>\n
Charge sheets stated that the 30-year-old Myanmar national allegedly sent the AI-generated image of a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir to another person on Aug 20.<\/p>\n
He is said to have then deleted the digitally edited image and the Gemini AI application history log from his phone on Aug 21.<\/p>\n
Ye, who spoke through an interpreter, said he intends to plead guilty and will not be engaging a lawyer.<\/p>\n
On Aug 20, national water agency PUB received a report of a crocodile sighting at the reservoir, accompanied by a photo.<\/p>\n
As a result, water activities in the reservoir were suspended for two days. PUB and the National Parks Board also launched search-and-capture operations in the area.<\/p>\n
The agencies also informed the Singapore Rowing Association and Singapore Canoe Federation, which conduct water activities at the reservoir, to suspend all activities.<\/p>\n
PUB filed a police report<\/span><\/a> after verifying on Aug 21 that the photo was fake. Search operations were ceased, and water activities resumed on Aug 22.<\/p>\n For transmitting a false message, a person can be fined up to $10,000, jailed up to three years, or both.<\/p>\n For the obstruction of justice, an offender can be jailed for up to seven years, fined, or both.<\/p>\n Ye\u2019s case will be heard again in court in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SINGAPORE \u2013 A man who allegedly generated a fake photograph of a crocodile at Pandan Reservoir was charged in court on Sept 29.
