PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 2, 2025 — Anapol Weiss has filed two additional lawsuits on behalf of children groomed and abused by predators they met on the online gaming platform, Roblox. The lawsuits allege that Roblox knowingly fostered an unsafe online environment where child predators operate freely.
Anapol Weiss has now filed eleven related cases, highlighting a disturbing pattern of systemic negligence and failure to protect children.
Case Summaries
Florida Child: A Brevard County, FL child was subjected to a similar pattern, in which she was befriended on Roblox by a predator posing as a child. The conversation moved to the chat platform, Discord, where the child was coerced into sharing sexually explicit images and videos of herself. Again, this lawsuit alleges that these companies knowingly and recklessly prioritize profit over the safety of their most vulnerable users.
Illinois Child: A Cook County, IL child was groomed on Roblox and lured away from her home, where she was raped by five different predators. The lawsuit alleges that Roblox misrepresented its platform as a safe place for children when, in reality, the company failed to implement basic safety measures, such as age verification and content moderation. These safeguards would have prevented predators from accessing children.
A Growing Crisis
These filings highlight the growing crisis of children exploited by predators posing as peers in online gaming platforms. In particular, Roblox is overwhelmingly cited as the originating platform for this abuse. Anapol Weiss expects additional cases to be filed in the coming months, underscoring the breadth of harm and the urgent need for accountability.
“These lawsuits highlight the alarming reality of what happens when Big Tech puts profits over our children’s safety,” said Alexandra Walsh, partner at Anapol Weiss. “Roblox and Discord have long been aware that predators use their apps to target and exploit children, yet they have failed to take the actions necessary to prevent this horrific practice. Children are paying the price. ”
Anapol Weiss continues to represent families across the country whose children have been groomed, abused, or abducted through online platforms, including Roblox, Discord, and others that refuse to implement effective child safety protocols.
