Roblox Lawsuit

If you or your child (a minor) were harmed by someone who first made contact through the Roblox platform, you may qualify to file a lawsuit against Roblox.

James Rolshouse Law Firm PLLC is currently reviewing cases involving minors who were targeted by predators after meeting them on Roblox. Even if the abuse happened later on another app—like Discord, Snapchat, or Instagram—the connection must have started on Roblox.

To qualify:

• The victim must have been under 18 at the time of the incident.

• The first communication with the predator must have occurred on Roblox.

We're currently evaluating a range of cases, including:

• In-person abuse: Some predators use Roblox to groom children over time, eventually convincing them to meet in real life. These meetings can result in sexual assault, rape, or kidnapping.

• Online exploitation: In many cases, predators trick or pressure children into sending explicit photos or videos. This might involve fake identities, bribes (like in-game currency), or threats.

• Receiving explicit content: If a child received sexually explicit messages or images from a predator they met on Roblox, this may also qualify—especially if it caused emotional harm.

• Online grooming: Sometimes, a predator doesn't succeed in meeting the child or getting explicit content, but still builds a relationship with harmful intent. This can cause serious psychological damage and may be legally actionable.

• Severe emotional trauma: Some cases involve tragic outcomes like suicide, suicide attempts, or extreme mental health struggles (such as PTSD, self-harm). These may qualify even if the details don't fall into a specific category.

Even if the child wasn't physically harmed, emotional injuries can be just as serious—and just as valid in the eyes of the law.

No, these are individual lawsuits against Roblox, not a Roblox class action lawsuit. While multiple families are filing similar claims, each case is handled separately based on the specific circumstances of what happened to each child.

When you work with James Rolshouse Law Firm PLLC, you're filing an individual lawsuit tailored to your family's specific situation, not joining a class action. This approach allows for more personalized attention to each family's unique circumstances.

Predators often pose as other children, using private chat functions and friend requests to gain trust. Once a relationship is established, they frequently guide the child off-platform—typically to Discord, Snapchat, or similar apps. From there, they may begin coercion, grooming, or sextortion.

Some predators use in-game currency (“Robux”) or fake emotional connections to manipulate children. Others use fear tactics, including threats against the child or their family.

In many cases, yes. If the connection between the child and predator started on Roblox, and Roblox failed to take reasonable steps to prevent that connection, the company may still be liable, even if the abuse occurred later on Discord or another app.

That's why the origin of the relationship is such a key factor in determining eligibility for a lawsuit.

Roblox has stated publicly that it has strict safety protocols in place, including chat filters, moderation tools, and user reporting. However, critics argue that these tools are often inadequate and poorly enforced—especially in private conversations or third-party interactions.

Multiple Roblox lawsuits have been filed in recent years alleging that the company failed to address known safety risks, despite having the technology and responsibility to do so. The Roblox lawsuit 2025 cases continue to grow as more families come forward.

Compensation varies depending on the severity of the case and the level of harm. Successful lawsuits can lead to financial recovery for:

• Therapy or medical expenses

• Emotional pain and suffering

• Loss of educational opportunities or long-term mental health impacts

Every case is different. James Rolshouse Law Firm PLLC provides a free consultation to help families understand what kind of compensation may be possible.

Unfortunately, yes. As more families come forward, lawsuits involving online platforms and child exploitation are becoming more frequent.

A growing number of minors in the US have reportedly been exploited by predators who first contacted them on Roblox. These numbers are likely underreported due to the stigma and emotional trauma victims experience.

Evidence can include:

• Chat logs or screenshots showing communication between the child and predator

• Records from Roblox or other platforms

• Police reports or investigations

• Testimony from therapists, counselors, or mental health providers

• Journals or messages written by the child

Even if you don't have all this documentation handy, it's still worth speaking to an attorney. James Rolshouse Law Firm PLLC can help investigate and build your case.

Yes. Like most legal cases, there are statutes of limitations that vary depending on the state. However, because these cases often involve minors, there may be extended deadlines. In some jurisdictions, the countdown doesn't start until the child turns 18—or until the abuse is discovered.

It's best not to wait. Early consultation increases your chances of a successful outcome.

Our team at James Rolshouse Law Firm PLLC understands how hard it is to speak up, and we make the process as respectful and straightforward as possible. We believe that platforms like Roblox must be held accountable when they fail to protect the children they profit from.
