Roblox LawsuitUnderstand your options.

Roblox is one of the largest online platforms in the world for children, with tens of millions of daily users — a large share of them under 13. Families across the country have filed lawsuits alleging that Roblox marketed itself to parents as safe while failing to protect children from adult predators who used the platform’s chat features, games, avatars, and virtual currency to groom, exploit, and in some cases sexually assault minors — frequently by building trust on Roblox and then moving conversations to outside messaging apps.

MDL 3166: Where the Litigation Stands

In December 2025, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated federal cases into MDL 3166 — In re: Roblox Corporation Child Sexual Exploitation and Assault Litigation — in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg. The MDL has grown rapidly, from 31 initial cases to more than 160 by mid-2026, and a parallel California state court proceeding was consolidated in Los Angeles in April 2026. Separately, attorneys general in more than half a dozen states have sued or investigated Roblox over child safety, and the company has paid tens of millions of dollars in settlements to state governments — enforcement resolutions that did not compensate individual families. Roblox denies the allegations and points to safety features it has added, including facial age verification introduced in 2026. No verdicts or individual settlements have occurred; the MDL is in its early, discovery-focused phase.

The Harms at the Center of These Cases

The lawsuits involve children who were groomed, sexually exploited, subjected to sextortion, exposed to explicit content, or physically assaulted by predators who first reached them through Roblox. The resulting harm — trauma, therapy needs, self-harm, and lasting psychological injury — falls on children and their families.

Who May Qualify?

A family may qualify for a free, confidential case review if a minor child was groomed, exploited, or assaulted by someone who contacted them through Roblox. Evidence can include account records, chat histories, law enforcement reports, and therapy records — and an experienced legal team can help preserve and obtain records families cannot access on their own. Statutes of limitations for claims involving the abuse of minors vary by state and are often extended, but they differ significantly, so prompt confidential review is important.

These conversations are handled with complete confidentiality and care. If your child is in immediate danger or you have evidence of a crime, contact law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children first.
