Using Grok, the stepfather created more than 7,000 CSAM-related images of her. He also shared and traded the images with others on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit alleges that the stepfather opted for Grok \u201cbecause the platform was less restrictive than other AI models and responded to his prompts to generate sexually explicit material using an image depicting a prepubescent minor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also claims that in February, xAI did generate a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding the images, but the company only submitted the original, authentic image as evidence. According to the suit, xAI did not respond when law enforcement requested the thousands of Grok-generated images based on the photo and IP address information that would have quickly helped identify her stepfather as the perpetrator.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit states that the stepfather shot himself two days after he was arrested and charged with child exploitation crimes. His suicide added to the \u201cextreme personal crisis\u201d brought on by the images created through Grok. She regularly \u201cstruggles with self-loathing and disgust\u201d as well as \u201cextreme anxiety\u201d at the thought that the images will be found by others online and suffer from depression, including excessive sleep and suicidal ideation when awake.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jane Doe 5 claimed that an adult male related to one of her classmates used Grok to convert a photograph from her eighth-grade graduation into illicit material. The images were also traded and shared with others online. While the man was arrested and charged, much of the content is still available on the internet. As a result, she \u201cfeels a complete lack of control over the ongoing dissemination of the files.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is impossible to know how many other child sex predators may now possess Jane Doe 5\u2019s CSAM, nor how widely her CSAM has now been disseminated online through darknet channels and applications,\u201d the complaint said.<\/p>\n<p>The press office for xAI did not respond to an emailed request for comment from CyberScoop.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit also adds Stability AI as a defendant, alleging the company released Stable Diffusion 1.0 as an open-weight model despite knowing it was trained on CSAM and has declined to alter or modify its guardrails in response.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/purl.stanford.edu\/kh752sm9123\">2023 Stanford study<\/a>, the underlying dataset used to train Stable Diffusion models was created through unguided webcrawling of internet content. That means it ingested \u201ca significant amount of explicit material,\u201d including CSAM. Stable Diffusion 1.0 had a classifier meant to block the generation of such images, but because of that training data, downstream developers could more easily exploit the model and create modified versions that bypass those protections.<\/p>\n<p>While Stable Diffusion 2.0 introduced stronger guardrails, the lawsuit claims Stability AI rolled back those protections in response to \u201cdisgruntled\u201d users that the new restrictions were \u201cprude\u201d and \u201cunpopular.\u201d That in turn has fed an ecosystem of jailbroken \u201cnudify apps\u201d based on Stability AI\u2019s models.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStability AI knew that its models, once capable of generating sexually explicit images, would foreseeably be used to generate CSAM unless appropriate model-level safeguards were implemented,\u201d the complaint said.<\/p>\n<p>Stability AI did not respond to a request for comment from CyberScoop.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.3904109589041\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/deepfake-csam-lawsuit-against-xai-grok-expands-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.

The Prime Minister has said X need to \u201cget their act together\u201d amid concerns about the creation of sexualised images of adults and children by AI embedded on the social media site. Sir Keir Starmer said he backed Ofcom, which is looking into X and xAI \u2013 the firm founded by Elon Musk which created Grok \u2013 to take action against the site, and that he had asked for \u201call options to be on the table\u201d. It comes as a former minister urged the Government and the Labour Party to stop using the site entirely. Users of X appear to have prompted its artificial intelligence Grok, which is integrated into the platform, to generate deepfake images of children \u201cin minimal clothing\u201d.
