Parents of nine-year-old girl in Arkansas refile lawsuit against xAI, alleging Grok generated sexualized images of her and adding SpaceX as a defendant

On October 13, the parents of a nine-year-old girl in Arkansas refiled a lawsuit against xAI, alleging that Grok generated sexualized images and videos from her photos, and named SpaceX as a defendant. The complaint states that SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026 and profited from it; the complaint brings 13 federal and state law claims, seeks under Masha's Law statutory damages of the greater of $150,000 or actual damages, and seeks a permanent injunction requiring deletion of the relevant images and the addition of technical safeguards. The complaint also mentions that Grok has a Spicy Mode for generating sexual content and lacks the safety layers used by competitors, and cites CCDH research and a letter from 35 state attorneys general. The case was previously filed on July 29 in the Eastern District of Little Rock and was voluntarily dismissed on September 15; it is now grouped with at least nine similar cases before the same judge in the Western District of Arkansas, and plaintiffs have requested consolidated proceedings. The defendants have not yet responded, and the allegations have not been adjudicated by a court.
