Article title is a bit misleading. Just glancing through I see he texted at least one minor in regards to this and distributed those generated pics in a few places. Putting it all together, yeah, arrest is kind of a no-brainer. Ethics of generating csam is the same as drawing it pretty much. Not much we can do about it aside from education.

Legally, a sufficiently detailed image depicting csam is csam, regardless of how it was produced. Sharing it is why he got caught, inevitably, but it's still illegal even if he never brought a minor into it.

Making the CSAM is illegal by itself https://www.thefederalcriminalattorneys.com/possession-of-lolicon

Title is pretty accurate.
