Short answer: Natasha Lopez says an anonymous Facebook page, “Not So Noble”, harassed her and her family after her August 2025 arrest, including with AI-generated images of her. Cherokee County prosecutors say that former sheriff’s corporal Charles Mills, the state’s principal witness, told an investigator he created and ran the page; the sheriff’s office fired him. On 12 November 2026 prosecutors dropped the obstruction charges against Lopez, and WSB-TV reported she was granted a 12-month stalking protective order. Neither article we read reported criminal charges against Mills. If AI-made images of you or a client are circulating, preserve carefully and let counsel and the platform handle the rest. A TimeBind dates the files you hold. It does not show who posted anything or whether an image is fake.
Last checked 13 November 2026. General information, not legal advice. This is a news-based explainer for lawyers and the people they advise. The facts below are allegations or statements reported by FOX 5 Atlanta and WSB-TV, and the case is ongoing. We describe no explicit content.

What has been reported
The following comes from FOX 5 Atlanta and WSB-TV. It is as reported, not established by us, and Lopez’s account of the page is her own.
- In August 2025, Cherokee County Cpl. Charles Mills arrested Lopez on two misdemeanour obstruction counts after going to her home looking for her son over a suspected traffic violation.
- After Lopez shared details of the encounter online, a fake Facebook page, “Not So Noble”, began harassing her and her family, according to Lopez. She says it targeted her and her children with AI-generated sexualised content. FOX 5 saw an email from the Solicitor General’s office identifying Mills as the page’s owner.
- The Solicitor General said that after an 18 September hearing Mills told a prosecutor’s investigator he created and ran the page while her case was pending. The state disclosed this to the defence on 21 September and the sheriff fired Mills shortly after, citing a code-of-conduct violation.
- On 12 November 2026 prosecutors filed a nolle prosequi in the obstruction case and the court granted it. WSB-TV reported the Superior Court granted Lopez a 12-month stalking protective order. The Solicitor General said the dismissal is not a finding that the sheriff’s office acted unlawfully in the 2025 incident. WSB-TV earlier reported the sheriff’s office asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to investigate independently. Neither article reported criminal charges against Mills.
What to preserve if AI-made images of a real person are circulating
- Do not share or re-post the material. Write down where it is instead: the full address of each page, the page or account ID, and the date and time you saw it.
- Capture the context, not just the image. Full-page screenshots showing the address bar, the date, the account name and any comments. A screenshot dates that copy only. See can screenshots be used as evidence? and screenshot timestamping.
- Keep a report log. Each report to a platform or host, with the date, the case or ticket number and the reply. A clean log is what counsel will ask for.
- Keep your real originals, including the source photos the images may have been made from, with their original files and dates.
- If any image involves a minor, do not keep or forward copies. Report it to the platform and to law enforcement (in the US, the NCMEC CyberTipline) and let them handle it.
- Give counsel a custody note of who handled what and when. The preserving digital evidence client checklist and the chain of custody log give a format.
What a TimeBind adds, and what it does not
Fingerprint the folder you assemble. A TimeBind gives you a dated record that those exact files existed no later than the recorded time and still match, which helps you show later that your collection did not change. It does not show who created or posted anything, and it does not show whether an image is real or fake. For background on how fakes are made and spotted, see what is a deepfake? and the spot AI fakes guide.
