Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has filed a lawsuit against Roblox, accusing the gaming platform of failing to protect children from online predators. The legal complaint claims Roblox lacks strong safeguards—such as effective age verification and mandatory parental approval—that could prevent exploitation of minors.
Murrill criticized the company for prioritizing rapid growth and profits over user safety, calling Roblox “the perfect place for pedophiles.” The lawsuit highlights several disturbing game titles available on the platform, including Escape to Epstein Island, Diddy Party, and Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe, which it says feature inappropriate or sexual content.
One example cited in the case involves a Louisiana man who allegedly used voice-changing software to impersonate a young girl and connect with minors through Roblox’s chat system.
Roblox, which reports over 111 million daily users—more than a third of whom are under 13—has recently begun rolling out new safety features, including facial recognition-based age checks for unfiltered chats and expanded parental controls. The company maintains it has a zero-tolerance policy for child exploitation.
Still, Murrill’s office is seeking a court order that would stop Roblox from claiming its safety measures are sufficient. She has also warned that the platform could face closure in Louisiana if it fails to make significant improvements.
