Between April 15 and 25, 2026, Bucks County prosecutors in Pennsylvania alleged that Harry Tiffany IV used Grok to create and possess AI-generated child sexual abuse material. xAI reportedly submitted seven CyberTips flagging 37 files uploaded or shared through the chatbot interface. Investigators said his phone contained the flagged Grok account and additional files depicting minors.
