The Kentucky.gov page at the cited URL, titled "AG Coleman Sues AI Chatbot Company for Preying on Children" and dated Jan. 8, 2026, contains the exact sentence and attributes it to "Attorney General Coleman" in a quoted statement, so the quote is authentic and correctly attributed to Russell Coleman.

AI Unverifiable
Source_url is the Kentucky AG press release (kentucky.gov), which returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, so I could not read the page directly. However, web search strongly corroborated the quote: multiple outlets (Kentucky Lantern, WKMS, LegalReader) report AG Russell Coleman's Jan 2026 statement on Kentucky's lawsuit against Character.AI: "Too many children – including in Kentucky – have fallen prey to this manipulative technology. Our Office is going to hold these companies accountable before we lose one more loved one to this tragedy." This matches the quote verbatim. Context (holding an AI company liable for harms to children) and the "for" vote on "AI companies should be liable for harms caused by their deployed models" align correctly; year 2026 is correct. Marking ai_unverifiable only because the primary source_url itself blocks fetching; corroboration is strong.
