Texas Scorecard By Michael Wilson January 9, 2026
A Houston business owner already charged in connection with an alleged AI-generated impersonation scheme is now facing a civil lawsuit. A Houston business owner already facing criminal charges tied to alleged AI-generated sexual content is now the target of a multi-million-dollar civil lawsuit.
The Buzbee Law Firm has filed suit against Jorge Abrego, a co-owner of HTX Tactical, accusing him of orchestrating a prolonged campaign of online impersonation and harassment against a Houston-based internet influencer identified in court filings as “Jane Doe.” The lawsuit seeks more than $10 million in damages and requests a jury trial.
Abrego was arrested in August 2025 following an investigation by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. Prosecutors charged him with online impersonation and unlawful production of sexually explicit videos, offenses tied to allegations that he used artificial intelligence tools to create fake nude images and videos depicting the influencer.
According to court records referenced in the lawsuit, investigators allege Abrego created multiple fake TikTok accounts using usernames closely resembling the influencer’s real profiles. Those accounts were then used to post AI-generated images and videos that appeared to show her engaged in sexual activity.
The lawsuit claims Abrego simultaneously attempted to build a personal relationship with the influencer, expressing romantic interest and presenting himself as a trusted friend. “While Plaintiff voiced her fear for her safety and concerns as to what was going on, Abrego pretended to be a trusted friend who could be confided in,” the lawsuit states. “As Plaintiff dealt with the onslaught she was experiencing online, Defendant Abrego pretended to be her source of emotional support, despite orchestrating the very events that were causing her torture.”
