Louisiana Attorney General Sues Roblox Over Child Exploitation Dangers

At Ketterer, Browne & Davani (KBD), we have written before about the dangers of online platforms that put children at risk. Now, a new legal action highlights just how serious the problem has become.

According to Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office and reporting from Agliz Murrill’s site, the State of Louisiana has filed a lawsuit against Roblox, the most popular gaming site for children and teens, alleging that it facilitates child sexual exploitation and fails to protect young users.

This is not just a story about a video game. It’s about corporate responsibility, child safety, and whether companies that profit from children’s participation are taking adequate steps to keep predators off their platforms.

Why This Case Matters

Roblox is one of the largest online platforms in the world, with an estimated 82 million daily active users. Nearly half of those users are children under 16, including a significant percentage under the age of 12.

The lawsuit alleges that Roblox has allowed predators to thrive by:

• Failing to put in place effective parental controls or age-verification measures.

• Permitting games and experiences filled with sexually explicit content, including simulations of abuse.

• Allowing predators to pose as children, use voice-altering technology, and actively target minors.

Attorney General Murrill described Roblox as “overrun with harmful content and child predators” because of its prioritization of profits over safety. She warned that every parent in Louisiana—and across the nation—should be aware of the risks.

A Broader Pattern of Risk

Unfortunately, Roblox’s problems are not unique. Online platforms built around user-generated content often struggle—or outright fail—to balance engagement and safety. For companies like Roblox, which have seen their stock prices surge and revenues explode, the temptation is to grow first and address safety later.

But when children are the primary users, that approach can have devastating consequences.

Recent reports have shown disturbing patterns:

• Explicit games on the platform that simulate child abuse scenarios.

• Thousands of users openly trading child pornography in groups.

• Real-life arrests, including a Louisiana suspect who allegedly used voice-mimicking software on Roblox to lure children.

This is not an isolated incident. It is evidence of a systemic problem.

Why KBD Attorneys Is Watching This Closely

At Ketterer, Browne & Davani, we fight for the most vulnerable—including children who are harmed because corporations fail to take basic safety measures.

We have written before about Roblox and technology companies in general that cut corners, ignore red flags, or profit while users are put at risk. The Roblox lawsuit is just one example of what happens when companies fail to protect the very people they profit from.

Children deserve safe environments, whether in schools, homes, or online. When corporations neglect their duty of care, legal accountability is not just appropriate—it is necessary.

Summary of the Lawsuit

The Louisiana Attorney General is suing Roblox, saying the company falsely claimed to be safe for kids while allowing predators to target children on its platform. The lawsuit argues Roblox put kids at risk, misled parents, and made money from children’s in-game purchases. Louisiana wants the court to make Roblox pay penalties and strengthen safety protections.

In short: Roblox is accused of putting kids in danger, lying about safety, and profiting from it.
