LA: Louisiana files lawsuit against Roblox, calling it a platform for sexual predators

Source: lailluminator.com 8/14/25

Louisiana is suing Roblox, the popular online gaming site, claiming it has distributed child sexual abuse material and fails to protect or notify users of sexual predators. 

Attorney General Liz Murrill filed the lawsuit Thursday in Livingston Parish at the 21st Judicial District Court. The lawsuit alleges Roblox endangers Louisiana children as an unchecked forum for sexual predators to connect with children and allows the sharing of sexually explicit material.

Roblox’s lack of age verification and warnings of the danger pertaining to sexual predators are listed in the lawsuit as key missing elements that could protect children. 

“Due to Roblox’s lack of safety protocols, it endangers the safety of the children of Louisiana. Roblox is overrun with harmful content and child predators because it prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety,” Murrill said in a news release. 

The lawsuit also cites issues with lack of adequate age verification for Roblox “experiences,” games created by independent users. Games with titles such as Escape to Epstein Island, Diddy Party and Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe can be easily labeled by users in the “all ages (suitable to everyone)” category, according to the lawsuit, making sexually explicit material, simulated sexual activity such as child gang rape, and open trading of child pornography among gamers more accessible …

This is extremely stupid. My kids have been playing Roblox for years and not once have they seen some sort of “adult” material. I have also played with them at times and its no different than many other online games. It is 100% impossible to limit kids from playing said games. We also have quest VR headsets and at all hours of the night if you play something like RecRoom, theres young kids on running around and youre supposed to be at least 13 to have an account to speak, but parents older siblings give it to them anyway. These people are so obsessed with kids to the point its almost like a weird obsession……

The slippery slope has started, less than two months after SCOTUS said age verification was alright for all people, not just minors, as was predicted by others in this forum. Let the games begin! Yes, pun intended.

I play this with my great niece all the time she is 3 years. What are supposed to do when she comes up to you and says play me. Trying to say play with me. Her mom even players with her. When someone tries to join or what’s to be friends she just it’s a button and they disappear.
She is very smart for 3 , she knows her colors can count up to 40 and she knows her ABC’s heck she is smarter than me when it comes to these games.

After scrolling headlines, this is what came up about this matter and finally some sage parental advice that parents need to use, not the govt to implement:

Roblox isn’t a game when safety is on the line (Rocky Mtn Voice 15 Aug 2025)

From the article: “And remember—the most powerful safety feature is you.”
