Family Sues Roblox, Discord After Child Raped By Predatory User
SAN MATEO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 23 – The lawsuit alleges Roblox and Discord neglected child safety by enabling predators to exploit an 11-year-old, with Roblox averaging 139 minutes of daily use per child, the complaint states.
- On July 17, 2025, a legal complaint was initiated in California’s Superior Court against Roblox Corporation and Discord, Inc., following the sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl from Miami-Dade County by an individual she encountered through these platforms.
- The lawsuit alleges that Roblox and Discord misrepresent their platforms as safe for children, enabling predators through insufficient safeguards, age verification, and content monitoring.
- Jane Doe R.M., an 11-year-old girl from Miami-Dade County, frequently used the popular apps Roblox and Discord, where she was gradually groomed by a predator who ultimately met her in person and subjected her to a violent sexual assault, resulting in severe trauma and lasting damage.
- The predator was later convicted, while Roblox reported nearly 98 million daily active users with over 32 million under 13, and Discord relies on self-reported ages for access control of users 13 and older.
- This case highlights concerns about digital child safety, prompting calls for stronger legislation and accountability as Roblox and Discord maintain commitments to improve user protections amidst criticism.
