(LifeSiteNews) — Louisiana’s attorney general is suing the hugely popular Roblox online kids’ gaming platform, alleging that it “endangers the safety of the children” and is “overrun with harmful content and child predators.”
In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Louisiana’s 21st Judicial District, State Attorney General Liz Murrill accuses Roblox of facilitating the distribution of child sexual abuse material and the sexual exploitation of children while knowingly and intentionally failing to implement basic safety controls to protect child users from predators.
Roblox “prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety,” Murrill noted.
“Every parent should be aware of the clear and present danger posed to their children by Roblox so they can prevent the unthinkable from ever happening in their own home,” Murrill said.
Launched in 2006, the site facilitates online “experiences” for its over 80 million active daily users — 40% of whom are under age 12 — and encourages users to interact with each other online.
“Users can easily say they are younger or older than their actual age — allowing child predators to pose as children and for children to bypass any age requirement,” notes a statement from the AG’s office that cited an example of how a predator easily infiltrated the site to have access to children:
Just last month in Livingston Parish, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at the residence of an individual suspected of possessing child sexual abuse material. At the time of the arrest, the suspect was actively using the online platform Roblox. Notably, the individual was in possession of and had employed voice-altering technology designed to mimic the voice of a young female, allegedly for the purpose of luring and sexually exploiting minor users of the platform.
According to the AG’s office, “a recent report even revealed a group of 3,334 members openly traded child pornography and solicited sexual acts from minors.”
Murrill took to social media to display a series of explicit examples of the disturbing “experiences” that young children and teens can be exposed to on Roblox.
“This is what your kids are doing on Roblox. Playing ‘Public Showers’ experiences – Maturity level ‘N/A’” Murrill explained.

According to Murrill, children have also had access to 600 “Diddy” games on the Roblox platform.

On the day before the lawsuit was filed in Louisiana, Democrat U.S. House member Ro Khanna of California announced a petition demanding transparency from Roblox regarding their child safety issues.

Last week, a young man who has reportedly made it his mission to expose child predators on Roblox was banned from the platform after receiving a cease-and-desist demand from Roblox.
“Roblox has done more to silence a whistleblower than to stop predators on their own platform,” popular “I Meme Therefore I AM” X user noted.
“Let that sink in,” she added.
🚨OUTRAGEOUS: Michael, the young man behind @RealSchlep, helped expose child predators on Roblox — and how did the billion-dollar company respond?
Not by fixing the problem.
Not by teaming up with him.
Not by protecting kids.
But by threatening him with a cease-and-desist.… https://t.co/L9MIn4D8Nh pic.twitter.com/wWtmbqMQoQ— I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 (@ImMeme0) August 11, 2025
