Louisiana Sues Roblox Alleging the Popular Gaming Site Fails to Protect Children

The lawsuit alleges Roblox prioritizes profits over child safety and lacks age verification, with 82 million daily users exposed to predators, according to Louisiana officials.

  • On Thursday, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill filed a lawsuit in Livingston Parish court, alleging Roblox enabled child exploitation and failed to protect minors.
  • Last month, Murrill highlighted a Livingston Parish arrest where a suspect used voice-altering technology on Roblox to lure minors, alleging platform failure to verify age.
  • Roblox hosts more than 6.4 million user-created experiences and reports nearly 82 million daily active users, with company data showing 20% are under 9, and Gautreaux warns, `Make no mistake: Online predators adapt very quickly`.
  • On July 15, 2025, Livingston Parish law enforcement raided a suspect’s home catching him using Roblox to exploit minors, with Sheriff Gautreaux referencing the January arrest of Joseph Randall for indecent behavior via Discord and Roblox.
  • The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act plus restitution, attorneys’ fees and civil penalties, marking the first state lawsuit filed against Roblox.
