The Allegations Against X and Grok

The allegations against X (formerly Twitter) and its AI subsidiary, xAI, contend that X designed and deployed an AI image generator called Grok that was built to generate sexually explicit deepfakes of real people, including children.

CPR Law’s investigation focuses on the following alleged conduct by X and xAI:

  • Reckless System Design

    Grok’s image generation model was built with deliberately weak safety filters. The system was designed to assume “good intent” when users submitted terms like “teenage” or “girl,” leaving it wide open to exploitation by anyone seeking to generate explicit content involving real people, including minors. The ability to digitally undress people on the X platform fueled a viral trend where users targeted real women and children.

  • Profiting From a Dangerous Platform

    The sexually explicit deepfake capability was not a bug or an accident. It was a feature that xAI designed, deployed, and profited from. The feature was placed directly into the hands of users who targeted real children, making this material available to sexual predators.

  • “Spicy Mode” for Profit

    X explicitly marketed a “Spicy Mode” to attract users to create sexually explicit content, later restricting image generation to paying subscribers and advertising this feature as a premium benefit.

  • Targeting Children at Scale

    Researchers have estimated that Grok generated more than 23,000 sexualized images of children in just 11 days. Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) was produced algorithmically, at roughly one image every 41 seconds.

  • Enabling Distribution

    Sexually explicit deepfake images of minors have been shared through private channels including Discord and Telegram, often without the victim’s knowledge. Many families have not yet discovered whether their child or a family member was targeted at all.

Thank you for everything that you have done!
Response from the owner 13:51 08 Oct 24

We highly recommend Jared Placitella. Jared was by our side through the worse incident in our lives. Jared was referred to us by a family member. We knew nothing about lawsuits, Jared took us step by step, explaining everything in great detail. When we didn’t think we had a chance of receiving any kind of compensation, Jared worked a miracle. Resolving this lawsuit will never take our pain away, but it does give us a small consolation. Jared was very patient and listened to all of my heartache for over a year. We could never thank him enough for all that he did. When you want a lawyer with patience and compassion, go to Jared Placitella!

James and his team were knowledgeable with our particular issue and were very supportive of our needs, concerns and associated anxieties through its long course. Cohen, Placitella & Roth proved invaluable in our arriving at a settlement.

Jennifer Emmons represented me in a medical negligence case for my husband that ultimately resulted in his untimely death. Ms Emmons was extremely thorough in preparing the case, which led to her impeccable representation at my husband’s deposition and arbitration. Her hard work and dedication to this case led to a financial award that ultimately changed my life. I will never be able to fully express my high regard for Mrs Emmons, her professionalism and CPR Law Firm. I would highly recommend Mrs Emmons and CPR Law to anyone who is suffering from a loss due to medical negligence.

I personally used Harry Roth. I was very skeptical about lawyers in general but Harry very quickly changed my mind. Mr Roth and his trusted team were AMAZING!!!! I was involved in a pretty significant motorcycle accident and he worked with me from the hospital, through home care, therapy and remains in touch afterwards. If for some reason Harry couldn’t speak to me, Lolita was very well informed on my case. I like to stay well informed so I made weekly or bi-weekly calls to discuss my case. Sometimes 2 minutes and sometimes 45 minutes, each time speaking to one of the aforementioned two people. Harry produced quick results and made myself and my family very happy. I would highly recommend Harry Roth or any member of this firm in a heartbeat. If you too are looking for a great firm to represent you, especially of you’re a skeptic like me, give Harry and his partners a chance to make your life as happy as he’s made mine.
Response from the owner 14:51 05 Feb 24
Thank you for sharing your experience and for placing your trust in us as your accident lawyer. We understand the skepticism that often surrounds legal assistance, and we’re glad we could change that perception for you. Hearing how Harry, Lolita and team provided you with comprehensive support from the hospital to your recovery at home is incredibly rewarding. Our commitment to keeping our clients well-informed and involved in their cases, no matter how big or small the details, is something we take great pride in. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and it’s heartening to know that we could bring satisfaction and happiness to you and your family after your motorcycle accident. If you or anyone you know ever needs an attorney, remember that Harry and his partners are just a call away. In the meantime, we wish you well.- CPR Team

Thank you. It is our pleasure to work with you and your firm.

What CPR Law Is Doing About It

Cohen, Placitella & Roth is investigating and representing one family at a time, individually, because that is how we protect your family’s privacy, pursue the maximum recovery, and hold X accountable to you.

  • Strict Anonymity, at Every Stage

    Protecting your child’s or loved one’s identity is not an afterthought. It is built into how we structure these cases, from the first phone call through any court proceedings.

  • Individual Strategy, Individual Results

    Your family’s case is its own proceeding. We develop legal strategies around the specific facts and circumstances: your evidence, your damages. You are not grouped into a class of thousands.

  • Holding a Tech Giant Accountable

    CPR Law has decades of experience in personal injury litigation and holding corporations accountable for dangerous conduct and products. These cases against X and xAI are just that, and more.

  • Pennsylvania and New Jersey Roots. National Reach.

    CPR Law is based in Philadelphia and has represented families throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey for decades. We also represent clients who are citizens of other states, along with experienced local counsel as necessary, at no additional fee to you.

  • No Fees Unless We Win

    CPR Law works on a contingency fee basis. You pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation on your behalf. Fees are calculated as a percentage of your recovery; the firm is also reimbursed for litigation costs at that time. Everything is explained in detail at your initial consultation and in your fee agreement.

Fighting for Families Impacted by AI Deepfakes

The damages available in any case depend on the specific facts and applicable law, and no outcome can be guaranteed. What CPR Law pursues on your family’s behalf will be determined after a thorough review of your circumstances. That said, cases involving AI-generated Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and deepfakes on behalf of children and women may involve claims for:

Emotional, Psychological, Physical, and Reputational Harm

Discovering and living with the knowledge that sexually explicit images of your child or a family member exist, were distributed, and may still be circulating can have long-lasting physical, psychological, and social effects. These harms form the basis for compensatory damages in civil litigation.

Punitive Damages

Where conduct is found to be willful, reckless, or in conscious disregard of the rights of others, some states may award punitive damages – not to compensate for a specific loss, but to punish egregious behavior and deter it from happening again.

Safeguards and Injunctive Relief

Courts may also be asked to require meaningful safety changes to prevent what allegedly happened to these children from continuing to happen to others.

The Legal Landscape for xAI Deepfake Lawsuits

Understanding the applicable state laws will help families understand what protections are available. Which state laws apply to your family’s specific situation is something CPR Law will assess during your initial consultation after reviewing the facts of your case.

As of 2025, 48 states had enacted some form of deepfake legislation. Cases may be brought under applicable state law regardless of where the victim lives.

New Jersey’s deepfake statute

(P.L. 2025, c. 40), signed by Governor Murphy in April 2025, gives victims a direct right to bring civil claims for actual damages, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees and explicitly preserves common law privacy torts including invasion of privacy, misappropriation of identity, and false light.

Pennsylvania’s Act 35 of 2025

PA Act 35 establishes criminal liability for creating a “forged digital likeness” of a real person without their consent and with intent to defraud or injure.

Government and Regulatory Actions Against xAI

The conduct alleged in these cases has drawn formal government action across the United States and internationally.

In the U.S., the California Attorney General launched an investigation into xAI on January 14, 2026, and issued a cease-and-desist letter two days later, on January 16, demanding that xAI immediately halt the creation and distribution of nonconsensual deepfakes and child sexual abuse material. New York’s Attorney General led a bipartisan coalition of 35 state attorneys general formally demanding action from xAI. Baltimore became the first U.S. city to file suit against xAI directly, in March 2026. France opened a criminal investigation into xAI’s conduct; regulatory proceedings are also underway in the United Kingdom, Ireland (under EU jurisdiction), Australia, and India.

Signs Your Child or a Family Member May Have Been Targeted with Deepfakes

Many families learn about these situations through third parties or not at all. These are the warning signs that have surfaced most often in documented cases:

  • You, your child, or a family member received a message from someone, known or unknown, referencing explicit images of them
  • You or someone you know came across manipulated images on Discord, Telegram, or other platforms
  • A school counselor, administrator, or another parent contacted you about images circulating online
  • Your child or family member has become withdrawn, distressed, or mentioned something that happened online without fully explaining it

If you have any reason to believe a member of your family may have been targeted, a confidential consultation with a CPR Law attorney is a reasonable and important step toward understanding your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Grok, and how did it generate explicit images of children?

    Grok is an AI chatbot and image generator developed by xAI and available to users on X (formerly Twitter). Grok’s image generation model was built with weak safety filters that allowed users to submit photographs of real people and generate sexually explicit “deepfake” versions of those images. The system was reportedly designed to assume “good intent” when users entered terms describing minors, leaving it open to misuse. A user could provide any photograph – a yearbook picture, an Instagram photo, a school website image – and direct Grok to produce an explicit version. That content could then be saved and distributed.

  • Is what Grok generated considered child sexual abuse material (CSAM)?

    Yes. For the specific scenario at the heart of these cases. When an AI tool takes a real child’s photograph and alters it to produce sexually explicit imagery, that content constitutes child sexual abuse material (CSAM) under federal law. Specifically, 18 U.S.C. § 2256(8)(C) covers visual depictions that have been “created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct.” The original photograph does not need to be sexual in nature. That is the scenario at the center of the active litigation against xAI, and it is why federal and state law enforcement agencies have moved quickly to act.

  • How do I find out if my child or a family member was targeted by Grok?

    Many families discover what happened through third parties. For example: a message seen on a phone or tablet, a call from a school administrator, another parent reaching out. Many others have not discovered it yet. A confidential consultation allows you to understand your options without any obligation.

  • Can CPR help file a deepfake lawsuit against xAI if I don’t live in Pennsylvania or New Jersey?

    Yes. CPR Law represents clients throughout the United States. The firm is headquartered in Philadelphia, with offices throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We have deep roots representing families throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and we also work with experienced co-counsel across the country. The specific claims available to your family will depend on the facts CPR Law reviews with you and applicable law. Where a case is filed and which legal theories are pursued depends on your specific situation. CPR Law has the resources and experience to investigate and pursue complex claims against large corporate defendants wherever they need to be brought.

  • What is the difference between an individual Grok deepfake lawsuit and a class action? Why does that matter for your family?

    A class action joins many plaintiffs into a single proceeding. Legal strategy and any recovery are shared across the group. An individual case is filed on behalf of your family alone. The legal strategy is built around you – the facts of your case and your damages – and the proceedings are separate from any other case, and the outcome is determined by your family’s individual circumstances and damages.

    When dealing with deeply personal harm, we believe the individual comes first. CPR Law’s cases are structured from the outset with your child’s and family’s needs as our primary consideration.

  • How does CPR Law protect the victim’s identity during the lawsuit?

    Protecting your child’s or family member’s identity is built into how we structure these cases. It is not an afterthought. Courts regularly grant minor plaintiffs the ability to proceed under pseudonyms (such as “Jane Doe” or “Minor Plaintiff”), and adult victims may also seek appropriate privacy protections. CPR Law has experience pursuing these protections from the very beginning of each case. What this looks like in practice is discussed in detail during your initial consultation and in the attorney-client agreement.

  • How much time do I have to file a deepfake lawsuit against xAI?

    Statutes of limitations apply in these cases, and they vary by state and by the specific claims involved. In some states, the clock begins running when the harm is discovered, not when it occurred, which may give families more time than they expect. But waiting still narrows those options. Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible is the best way to preserve all of the necessary evidence and keep all of your options available. CPR Law consultations are free and confidential, and there is no obligation to move forward.

  • Does CPR Law charge any fees upfront?

    No. CPR Law handles these cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no legal fees unless the firm recovers compensation on your behalf. Fees are calculated as a percentage of the recovery. If litigation costs are incurred in pursuing your case, the firm advances those costs, and is reimbursed from the recovery at the conclusion of the matter. All of this is explained in detail during your initial consultation and in a written fee agreement.

  • What should I do right now if I believe my child or a family member was targeted by Grok?

    First, do not upload or transmit any explicit images through email, social media, or any contact form, including ours. Preserve any non-explicit evidence you have: URLs of social media posts, screenshots of profiles or messages referencing the images, text messages. Document what you know about when the photographs were publicly accessible. If you haven’t already reported the content to X, you can do so, though platform reports alone rarely resolve the underlying legal harm. Do NOT sign any terms, conditions, or releases presented by X. Then contact CPR Law for a free, confidential consultation. The earlier you speak with an attorney, the more options you have.

  • What happens when I contact CPR Law?

    When you submit the contact form or call our dedicated intake line, a member of our legal team will review the information you provided and contact you to schedule a free consultation.

    Call (888) 729-7600 or use the contact form online.

  • Can xAI be held responsible even if I can’t prove my child’s or my family member’s specific image was used?

    This depends on the specific facts of your case, and it is one of the things CPR Law evaluates during the initial consultation. Courts are still developing standards for AI-generated deepfake liability to address exactly these questions. What matters for the initial consultation is what you know: what photographs were accessible, when, on which platforms, and any direct or indirect evidence that your child or family member was targeted. CPR Law can help you assess the strength of your potential claim based on those facts.

How to Contact an AI Deepfake Lawyer

Cohen, Placitella & Roth offers a free, strictly confidential consultation for individuals and families who believe their child or a family member may have been affected by Grok-generated content. There is no obligation, and no legal fees are charged unless the firm recovers compensation on your behalf. Families considering legal action should be aware that statutes of limitations apply. The time to file is limited by law and varies by state and by the specific claims involved. Contacting an attorney sooner rather than later preserves your options.
