Class action suit against AI makers over deepfake child sexual abuse material expands
Page 5/10

When law enforcement eventually tracked down and investigated the stepfather, they found that he, like the other perpetrators mentioned in the lawsuit, traded the sexually explicit images with others online, according to the complaint. Two days after law enforcement searched his digital devices and charged him with child exploitation offenses, he died by suicide.

"Jane Doe 4 entered a period of extreme personal crisis," the complaint said. "She had to grapple with the trauma of her own sexual exploitation while at the same time assisting her mother in navigating the loss of her stepfather … Her family was torn apart, and her life became a nightmare."

Law enforcement told Jane Doe 4 that her stepfather had used Grok because it was more responsive to his prompts than other AI models, according to Martin, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit.
