Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX) is facing a significant legal challenge that could impact its financial standing. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has filed a lawsuit alleging that Roblox's online gaming platform lacks adequate controls, enabling child predators to connect with children and share explicit material. The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, claims that the platform's in-game currency, "Robux," is used to coerce minors into sending sexually explicit material or meeting in person [2].
The lawsuit, filed by the law firm Stinar, Gould, Grieco & Hensley, represents a Dickinson County woman, referred to as Jane Doe, who was allegedly sexually assaulted by an adult predator on Roblox in 2016. The complaint alleges that the predator used Robux to gain access to Jane Doe and engage in inappropriate activities. Lead Attorney Steven Vanderporten asserts that allowing adults to trade Robux with minors leaves them vulnerable to such incidents [2].
Roblox Corporation has stated that it has stringent safety and security standards in place. In a statement, a Roblox spokesperson said, "We are deeply troubled by any incident that endangers our users, and safety is a top priority. We dedicate substantial resources, including advanced technology and 24/7 human moderation, to help detect and prevent inappropriate content and behavior" [2].
Following the lawsuit, Roblox's stock price experienced a notable decline. On September 2, 2025, Roblox's stock fell by 6.34%. This decline comes amid growing concerns about the company's ability to protect its users, particularly children, from online predators [1].
Pomerantz LLP is currently investigating claims on behalf of Roblox investors regarding potential securities fraud and unlawful business practices. Investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at newaction@pomlaw.com or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980, for more information [1].
