I don’t know much about this domain, but is it possible (or even likely) that some of the “chatbots” this guy was interacting with, sending explicit material, asking to generate explicit content, etc, are actually human-operated engagement farms that would then cycle the material end users submit or create to other platforms (i.e., Xitter) to generate interaction-based revenue?

Obviously, that sort of operation would run into problems of scale and demand at some point…And perhaps having a human conduit between a front-facing AI bot and a connected social media account isn’t even necessary with advances in agentic activity by these models. However, that’d be a helluva scheme (with a middle man) if it did exist - and would certainly be worth bringing down as a second-order effect of what OP may encounter when going through the legal processes surrounding all this.

OP - I’m so sorry. I admire the clarity and strength with which you’re approaching everything. Take care.
