A growing number of families are suing Roblox after learning their children were groomed, exploited, or exposed to sexually explicit content through the platform. Roblox spent years branding itself as a safe, kid-focused place to create and play. These lawsuits say that promise did not match reality and too many children have been exploited as a result.

Several high-profile cases, including a federal lawsuit filed in Texas and consumer class action claims over marketing and monetization practices, allege that Roblox failed to protect minors from foreseeable risks. In federal court, most of the child exploitation and grooming cases are now coordinated in the Roblox MDL in the Northern District of California, Case No. 25-md-03166-RS, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg, as we explain below

The core allegations are straightforward. Families claim Roblox allowed predators and explicit content to circulate, failed to enforce meaningful safety barriers, and profited from design choices that kept kids engaged while leaving them vulnerable. Many complaints describe the same pattern: predators initiate contact through in-game chat or messaging, build trust, and then push children to move conversations to third-party apps like Discord or Snapchat, where monitoring is weaker and the harm escalates.

Los Angeles County is at the center of one of the largest institutional child sexual abuse scandals in American history. Survivors of horrific abuse in juvenile halls and foster homes operated by the county have finally begun to see long-overdue justice after decades of silence, retaliation, and systemic neglect.

On April 29, 2025, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $4 billion settlement to resolve more than 6,800 claims of child sexual abuse spanning a period of over 60 years. This settlement is the largest of its kind in U.S. history, surpassing even the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts of America in total payout.

The lawsuits primarily center on abuse committed by county employees, probation officers, and foster care workers. Many of these acts occurred at juvenile detention centers such as Barry J. Nidorf, Central Juvenile Hall, Los Padrinos, and various probation camps. Thousands of survivors suffered in silence, only recently able to come forward due to new legal reforms in California.
