First man convicted under Take It Down Act kept making AI nudes after arrest

Strahler is believed to be the first person convicted under the Take It Down Act.

The law passed in May 2025, and he was arrested on federal charges by June.

He admitted creating and sending the images when local police confronted him.

After his phone was seized in April, FBI analysis showed harassment of two ex-girlfriends and their mothers, plus images of two boys.

He was arrested again in June after continuing to send fake nudes, and a new phone search found over 2,400 images and videos.
