Roblox is one of the most popular online gaming platforms among children and teenagers, with millions of active users engaging daily in user-generated games, chat rooms, and virtual experiences. While the platform promotes creativity and social interaction, a growing number of lawsuits allege that Roblox Corporation failed to protect minors from child sexual exploitation.
Across the country, families are coming forward to hold Roblox accountable for what they describe as a failure to implement safety features, warn parents, and moderate content. One group of lawsuits currently gaining traction is: Child sexual exploitation and grooming facilitated through Roblox’s chat and game.
If you are a parent of a child who was contacted by a predator on Roblox, you may be eligible to pursue legal action.

Dozens of families have filed lawsuits claiming that Roblox’s platform was used by online predators to target and groom children. Despite marketing itself as a safe space for kids, Roblox allegedly failed to implement adequate safeguards to prevent exploitation.
Key Allegations Include:
Parents say they trusted the platform, only to discover that it was being used by adults posing as children or exploiting poorly monitored chat systems. In many cases, the abuse began on Roblox and continued elsewhere.
Case Status:
Certain federal lawsuits involving these claims have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This MDL allows victims’ claims to proceed in a coordinated fashion while sharing evidence and legal discovery. Roblox continues to deny any wrongdoing.
The Roblox lawsuits have gained attention beyond individual plaintiffs. State attorneys general in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Tennessee have filed suits accusing Roblox of violating consumer protection laws through deceptive practices and unsafe platform design.
In addition, a California court recently ruled that Roblox cannot force child sexual abuse victims into private arbitration. This decision is significant as it allows survivors to have their day in court rather than being silenced by confidential, corporate-run arbitration.
Roblox’s leadership has responded by stating that the lawsuits “misrepresent the platform” and highlighting safety tools like image-sharing restrictions and enhanced age verification. However, the growing volume of lawsuits and state-level enforcement actions suggests increasing pressure on the company to change its approach.
Roblox lawsuits are generally for families whose children experienced child exploitation on the platform. Eligibility typically requires evidence that your child was harmed in one of these ways while using Roblox.
Victims of Child Sexual Exploitation
You may qualify if your child:
National Eligibility
You do not need to be in a state with a pending lawsuit to be eligible to file a claim. Eligibility includes families from all 50 states whose children have experienced harm related to Roblox.

Contacting our product liability attorneys promptly can help ensure that your child’s experience is properly documented and that your family’s claim is filed within applicable legal deadlines.
What types of injuries are covered in these lawsuits against Roblox?
Both physical and psychological injuries may be involved, including sexual exploitation, anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, sleep loss, and, in extreme cases, self-harm or seizures. Some lawsuits also include claims for financial exploitation through addictive purchase mechanics.
Can I still file a lawsuit if the abuse happened on another platform but started on Roblox?
Yes. If a predator used Roblox to initiate contact before shifting to platforms like Discord or Instagram, Roblox may still be held responsible for enabling that connection and failing to prevent it.
Can I sue on behalf of my child?
Yes. Parents or legal guardians can file claims on behalf of their children. In some states, adults who were harmed as minors may also have legal standing to sue, depending on the statute of limitations rules.
Is there a time limit to file a Roblox lawsuit?
Yes. Deadlines vary by state. However, in many cases involving child exploitation, statutes of limitation may be paused (tolled) until the victim reaches adulthood. An attorney can explain your specific window to file.
What evidence should I gather?
Valuable evidence includes:
What if my child hasn’t told me everything yet?
Many children delay disclosure or may not fully understand what happened to them. If you suspect something is wrong, a legal consultation can help explore next steps without requiring your child to testify immediately.

The trauma of sexual abuse can remain with the survivor for many years after the abuse took place, leaving them with mental, emotional, and physical wounds and heavy financial debt.
There are major differences between criminal and civil court proceedings regarding sexual abuse and both types can play a role in the survivor’s healing process.
When criminal charges are filed, they are meant to punish the abuser for the crimes they committed. The abuser may serve time in jail or prison and be required to pay steep fines.
When a survivor files a civil suit, the case is focused on the survivor and the emotional, physical, and financial harm they suffered as a result of the abuse. In civil suits, the survivor can obtain compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages they suffered as a result of the abuse.
Civil trials for sexual abuse are held separately from criminal trials. Even if the abuser is not convicted of sexual abuse in their criminal trial you can still file a civil lawsuit and have your sexual abuse lawyer present your case before a judge and jury. Additionally, the abuser being convicted of sexual abuse in a criminal trial does not guarantee the survivor will win their civil case.
At Parker Waichman LLP, our trial-tested attorneys will aggressively fight for you in court, presenting vital evidence and a compelling argument that will help you obtain the justice and compensation you deserve for the harm you have suffered.
The court system can be intimidating and confusing. Hiring an experienced Brooklyn sexual abuse lawyer can help make the entire process as low-stress as possible.
