Maggie gave the answer: "and cases where existing
pornographic pictures that were not the individual were selected and
misattributed as being them."
It isn't dependent on an actual published photo. You can take any old photo, slap
"Philippe beau fete" on it, and run with it. (You CAN....but please don't.)

In the time I've worked at the Wikimedia Foundation, I have
(unsurprisingly, given its reported prevalence) come across this kind of
harassment in my work with Support and Safety (formerly Community
Advocacy). There have been cases where perfectly harmless pictures of the
individuals have been doctored to be sexualized and cases where existing
pornographic pictures that were not the individual were selected and
misattributed as being them. I have personally been involved in complaints
of this happening to both men and women.
thank you for providing further insights. That is really concerning.
At the same time, a great majority of users do not publish photos of
themselves, and don't publish their name (which would allow others to
find available photos elsewhere), so it is still a mystery to me how
this very high percentage can be explained.
