I decided to get my husband's side of the story.I asked him to come and see something on the computer, and he was stunned when I showed him the video of him cuddling another woman, he denied it, and told me it was a deepfake. He said he could tell it was a deepfake, and that the body shape looked wrong, plus why would he cuddle another woman like this IN PUBLIC in a car park in winter?I was stunned, why would someone want to do this, make a deepfake of him?My husband isn't a celebrity, but he is prominent in our town's life, he's not mega-rich, well, we're not mega-rich, but by local standards, we're considered one of the richest (we live in a small town).I've been with my husband for 14 years in total, we got married in 2010.I'm wondering what would be someone's motivation for making a deepfake of him, other than perhaps a joke?He's stressed about this and considering legal action, but we don't know who did it and why.What should we start doing? Getting a lawyer etc.?Deepfakes aren't an issue either of us are familiar with (I'm a nurse, well, not a hospital nurse, I work with adults with Down's Syndrome, and my husband's a businessman importing 15-year-old cars, due to Canada's import law, 15 years and over is the legal limit, unlike your 25 year limit in the U.S., he's become fairly wealthy from that; he's not a car salesman, he's the owner of a successful business); we both have a shared passion for cars, food, travel.I'm Indo-Canadian and he's white, but we've never had issues on either side of our family, it helps that my family are non-religious, people probably have assumptions just because someone says the word Indian, I'm Indian as in Asia, not Native American.Really looking for help here.

The whole worlds fake sometimes, Christmas is good to focus on the reality.

 Further to the advice given, besides what you secretly find out on your own, keep a copy of the video stored away as potential evidence (against your husband if it's real and against this person, whomever they are, if it's fake).
Besides that I would not invest much energy in getting to the bottom of this or exploring what action can or should be taken. It was supposedly your husband who has been violated so let him do the leg work.
I don't see what relevance your ethnicity has.

Do a reverse image search, on Google or other search engines. Google it, and find-out how. Do it, yourself first; but don't let-on you've done it. If he doesn't do anything to prove his innocence, assume the photo is real; unless a reverse image search proves otherwise.
