Florida Sues Nevada Company Behind AI 'Nudify' Tool A2E, Saying It Never Reported Child Abuse Images Users Made

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Wednesday sued the company behind an artificial intelligence image and video tool called A2E, alleging that it lets users "nudify" real people without their consent and create child sexual abuse material, and that it did not report such images to law enforcement.

The complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in Sarasota County, names Rengstorff Consulting Ltd, which it describes as a Nevada corporation based in Las Vegas. It says the company owns and operates the A2E.ai website and an Apple App Store app called Head Swap: Ultimate Face Swap.

What the A2E Complaint Alleges

According to the complaint, the tools let anyone upload a photo or video of a real person and generate realistic nude or sexually explicit images, and also let users "digitally de-age" adults into the likeness of children. Florida law now makes it a crime to create or transmit child sexual abuse material generated with artificial intelligence, the complaint notes.

The state cites two Florida arrests. It says a Tampa man arrested on June 8, 2026, admitted to police that he used A2E's face-swap feature and generated 109 such images of a young child in his family alone, along with dozens more of another child and of adults who did not consent. "Defendant never reported the abusive and criminal images," the complaint says. In an April 28, 2026, arrest by the Leon County Sheriff's Office, some of the images contained an A2E watermark, according to the complaint.

The complaint says A2E's terms bar users from creating such material but that the company does not enforce them through monitoring, consent checks, account termination or reporting. It quotes online posts calling the tool "uncensored" and saying it has "no red tape."

The state also says A2E drew nearly 8.5 million visits in August 2026 alone. The complaint lists a free tier that requires purchased credits after free ones run out, a Pro tier at $14.90 a month and an Ultra tier at $59.90 a month.

What Florida Is Asking the Court to Do

The lawsuit brings three counts under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, alleging unconscionable, unfair and deceptive practices. It asks for a permanent injunction barring the company from offering technology that generates sexualized images of minors and others "while failing to appropriately monitor use, identify and report generated CSAM, verify consent, and implement reasonable safeguards."

The state also seeks disgorgement of "ill-gotten gains," consumer redress, civil penalties of up to $10,000 per willful violation, attorney's fees and a jury trial.

Companies "that design and profit from AI tools that make it easier to generate child sexual abuse material or 'nudify' non-consenting people" will be held accountable, Uthmeier said in a statement.

The complaint contains allegations that have not been proven in court. The attorney general's release and complaint did not include a response from Rengstorff Consulting.
