Lawsuit Alleges Grok Generated 7,000 Abuse Images from One Child's Photo

The amended suit says Grok produced more than 7,000 illicit images from one child’s photo and accuses Stability AI of weakening safeguards.

  • The class-action lawsuit against Grok expanded this week, adding two new plaintiffs, Jane Does 4 and 5, while naming Stability as a defendant for allegedly knowingly building models capable of producing CSAM.
  • Jane Doe 4 from Wyoming alleges her stepfather used Grok to generate more than 7,000 CSAM-related images after uploading a photo taken when she was 11 to his phone.
  • Lawyers allege Stability released Stable Diffusion 1.0 as an open-weight model despite knowing it was trained on CSAM, which fed an ecosystem of jailbroken 'nudify apps' that bypass safety protections.
  • Annika K. Martin, representing minors in the lawsuit, slammed the companies as allegedly knowingly building models "capable of producing deepfake CSAM," claiming complete disregard for the devastation they knew would follow.
  • NCMEC warned of a "sharp rise" in reports related to generative AI in 2025, noting that more than 1.5 million CyberTipline reports were made last year, indicating a nexus to GAI.
