Severity moderate: Test: data or systems of others touched, with a bounded scope stated. Fact: victims' photos and videos were taken at the King of Prussia Mall, parks, a zoo, convenient stores, and an aquarium, per the criminal complaint.

The system involved is Grok, an AI app that police say a worker at the King of Prussia Mall used to create child pornography from a photo of a teen girl. Robert Mayberry, 41, is charged with multiple counts including child sexual abuse material and invasion of privacy. The investigation began on June 18, 2026, when a woman contacted West Goshen Police after seeing photos and videos on his cellphone. Investigators searched his seized devices between June 26 and Aug. 14 and found hundreds of AI-generated child sexual abuse videos and photos, along with over 150 upskirt videos of women and teen girls. Mayberry was arrested on Oct. 21, 2026, and posted bail. Therabody said the employee had been placed on leave. The sources do not describe any control in the AI app that held, failed or was bypassed.
