Roblox Child Exploitation Lawsuits

Updated October 29, 2026

Families allege that Roblox marketed itself as safe for children while its design let adult predators find, contact and groom young users.

Predators often moved conversations to other apps, such as Discord, and children were coerced into sending images or meeting in person.

Where the Litigation Stands

• Case: In re: Roblox Child Exploitation Litigation, MDL No. 3166, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg.
• Formed: December 2025.
• Next step: a hearing on Roblox’s effort to force cases into arbitration is set for January 13, 2027.

Who May Qualify

A child who was contacted or groomed by someone they met through Roblox and was then sexually exploited, coerced into sending images, or harmed in person.

What to Do Now

• Keep the evidence. Do not delete accounts or chats. Report child sexual abuse material to the NCMEC CyberTipline or law enforcement rather than copying it yourself.
• Write down what you know: usernames, dates and the apps involved.
• Get your child support from a counselor or medical provider.

Your consultation is confidential, and a child’s identity is protected in any filing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Roblox’s arbitration clause stop us from suing?

That issue is being litigated now. Many claims involve minors and are being pursued in court.

Do we need a police report?

Not necessarily, but reporting to law enforcement and the NCMEC CyberTipline helps protect your child and others.
