Indianapolis AI Child Exploitation Charges Highlight Growing Crisis for Families, Says Potts Law Firm

HOUSTON, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- An Indianapolis man facing 10 felony charges for allegedly using artificial intelligence to create child sexual abuse material is the latest reminder of the devastating consequences AI exploitation can have for children and families.

According to WTHR's report on the Indianapolis case, investigators allege that some of the material was created using the likenesses of children the man personally knew.

For families affected by this conduct, the harm extends far beyond a screen. The knowledge that a child's likeness may have been manipulated into sexually abusive material can leave parents struggling to protect their children and understand what happens next.

Potts Law Firm is helping families pursue civil justice in federal courts across the country, seeking accountability in cases involving alleged AI-generated child sexual abuse material and the technology companies whose systems may have enabled its creation.

"It's heartbreaking to see this continue to happen to children and families," said Derek Potts, founder of Potts Law Firm. "Technology is advancing rapidly, but protecting children cannot be an afterthought. When companies develop these tools, they must take seriously the risk that their products could be used to exploit children."

Emily Marlowe Adler, an attorney with Potts Law Firm, emphasized that families deserve support and a path toward accountability.

"No family should have to wonder whether their child's image has been turned into something sexually abusive using AI," Adler said. "We want families to know they are not alone. We are working to help affected families understand their rights and pursue justice when the facts and the law support it."

Potts Law Firm continues to represent families pursuing civil claims in federal courts nationwide involving alleged AI-generated child sexual abuse material. The firm encourages families who believe their children may have been affected to seek confidential legal guidance.
