Bucks Co. man used Grok A.I. to create child sexual abuse material, DA says

A Bucks County man was taken into custody on Tuesday after using artificial intelligence to create child pornography, District Attorney Joe Khan said.

On Tuesday, Bucks County District Attorney Joe Khan announced that Harry Tiffany IV, 66, of New Britain Township, had been arrested and charged for, allegedly, creating and possessing child sexual abuse materials that he is believed to have created using A.I. tools.

Resources for victims of sexual assault are available through the National Sexual Violence Resources Center and the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline at 800-656-4673.

According to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, Tiffany was apprehended on Tuesday after an investigation began back on May 20, 2026.

At that time, officers following up on a tip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children found evidence that claims Tiffany used the Grok A.I. tools available on X — formerly known as Twitter — to produce at least 37 images that included suspected child sexual abuse materials.

These images were then uploaded or shared through Grok from April 15 through April 25, 2026, police said.

In a search of his home, along the 300 block of East Butler Avenue, the DA’s Office claimed, officers found Tiffany’s mobile device online and logged in to the specific account that was flagged by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children after, allegedly, sharing A.I.-generated images of child sexual abuse.

Police said that Tiffany was arraigned on Tuesday morning and his bail has been set at $200,000.

In a statement on Tiffany’s arrest, Khan said the charges follow the county’s recent expansion of a lawsuit that targets the impacts that social media and online technology can have on the health of the community’s youth.

“Yesterday, we took a historic stand in federal court to hold corporations like X Corp. and Roblox accountable for creating tools that exploit developing minds and fuel a child safety crisis,” said District Attorney Khan in a statement. “Today, we see the stark reality of those localized harms right here in our community. Whether a predator is utilizing AI applications to generate illicit material or hiding behind gaming platforms to lure our children, the dangers are immediate. While we aggressively pursue these tech giants in court for their reckless and dangerous designs, our detectives and prosecutors remain hyper-vigilant on the ground, arresting and convicting the predators who leverage these platforms.”

In this expansion of the lawsuit, Bucks County’s District Attorney’s Office, officials noted, has become the first in the country to sue X Corp. — formerly known as Twitter — alongside other online entities, like the gaming platform Roblox.

In a statement, officials said this lawsuit intends to target tech giants’ deployment of “experimental virtual chatbots,” specifically naming X Corp.’s built-in AI assistant Grok, for the “systemic failure to implement child safety precautions, ineffective reporting structures, and the generation of dangerous, explicit material.”
