If your child was sexually abused, raped, assaulted, trafficked, groomed, sent sexually explicit images, or otherwise sexually harassed or exploited by a sex predator who they met on the Roblox platform, you may be entitled to compensation from a Roblox sex abuse lawsuit case or settlement claim.

A team of sex abuse injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential Roblox sexual abuse lawsuit and settlement cases involving children who were sexually abused, assaulted, raped, trafficked, groomed, sent sexually explicit images, or otherwise sexually harassed or exploited by someone they met online through the Roblox gaming platform.

Roblox is an online gaming app that allows users to play games (called “experiences”), create their own games, and socialize in a virtual world. Players use the Roblox app to discover and play those experiences, customize an avatar, chat with other users, and buy virtual items such as avatar items and game upgrades, using Robux (the in-platform currency). Roblox is one of the most popular online platforms for children, with millions of young Roblox users building and playing games and interacting with other Roblox users every day.

Unfortunately, Roblox is facing allegations that it failed to protect young Roblox users from sexual predators who used its platform to find, contact, groom, exploit and sexually abuse children. Child sex abuse victims and survivors (and their family members) are now coming forward and filing Roblox sex abuse lawsuits seeking compensation and justice for the harm they claim to have suffered.

Roblox Sexual Abuse Lawsuit & Settlement Cases

Roblox sexual abuse lawsuit and settlement cases potentially being investigated include claims involving children who were harmed after interacting with sexual predators on Roblox, including:

Sexual Abuse: Sexual abuse broadly includes any form of abusive sexual behavior imposed on someone without their consent, often perpetrated using physical force and often involving exploitation, manipulation, coercion or an abuse of trust. Sexual abuse can include child sexual abuse, sexual assault, rape, statutory rape, sex trafficking, sending sexual explicit images and grooming, among others.

Child Sex Abuse: Child sexual abuse happens when an adult or older teen involves a child in any kind of sexual activity. This may include touching a child’s private parts, making a child touch someone else, showing a child sexual pictures (including nudity) or videos (pornography), exposing themselves to a child, watching a child in a sexual way, or forcing a child to be part of sexual pictures or videos. Even if the child doesn’t understand or doesn’t say “no,” it is still considered abuse because children cannot give consent.

Sexual Assault: Sexual assault is any sexual contact or act that occurs without explicit consent of the victim. It can include a wide range of sexual behaviors, from unwanted touching and groping to forced sexual acts, including rape. The core issue is the absence of consent, whether the victim was pressured, threatened, physically forced, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to freely agree.

Molestation: Molestation is a form of sexual assault that usually involves unwanted or inappropriate sexual touching, most often against children. It can include behaviors such as fondling, groping, or making a child touch someone else in a sexual way. Unlike rape, molestation does not necessarily involve penetration, but it is still deeply harmful because it violates personal boundaries, exploits vulnerability, and can cause lasting emotional and psychological trauma.

Rape/Statutory Rape: Rape is a form of sexual assault that includes sexual intercourse or sexual penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. Statutory rape includes sexual activity between an adult and a person who is below the age of consent (which can vary by jurisdiction), even if the minor appeared to consent (i.e., it is presumed that a minor is not capable of giving legal consent to such sexual activity).

Grooming: Grooming is a manipulative process in which an abuser gradually builds trust with a child to exploit them sexually. It often involves giving attention, affection, gifts, or special privileges to make the victim feel valued and dependent. Over time, the abuser works to break down boundaries, normalize inappropriate behavior, and create secrecy, sometimes isolating the victim from others who might intervene. Grooming on Roblox might begin as ordinary chat or play, then shift as an adult (often posing as a peer) builds trust, isolates the child, and nudges conversations to private channels or off-platform apps, while asking for secrecy, offering gifts/Robux, or gradually introducing sexualized talk. Because grooming can appear caring or supportive on the surface, it can be difficult to detect, which makes it a common strategy in cases of child sexual abuse and trafficking.

Sexually Explicit Images or Videos: Sending sexually explicit images or videos to a child (or pressuring, coercing, or “requesting” a child to create or share such content) is a form of sexual abuse. It exploits a child’s inability to consent, leverages power imbalances through grooming, manipulation, or threats, and can inflict serious, lasting psychological harm (including distress, fear, or humiliation) even when no physical contact occurs. A sexual image of a minor is child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and creating, soliciting, possessing, or distributing it is a crime under state/federal law. Predators often push secrecy or try to move conversations off-platform to maintain control, which deepens the abuse.

Sex Trafficking: Sex trafficking is a form of human trafficking in which individuals are forced, coerced, or deceived into engaging in commercial sex acts against their will (where child is forced to perform sexual acts for money or other benefits). It often involves the exploitation of vulnerable people (here, children) by traffickers who use threats, violence, manipulation, or fraud to maintain control. Victims may be kidnapped, convinced to travel, sold, traded, or transported across local or international borders. Sex trafficking on Roblox might start when bad actors use Roblox to groom a child, building trust in chat, pressuring them to join private or off-platform apps, and then coercing sexual images (“sextortion”) or attempting to arrange meetings. What defines sex trafficking is the exploitation itself: using power, coercion, or deception to profit from another person’s sexual activity.

If you (when you were a minor) or your minor child were sexually assaulted, harassed, or otherwise abused by a sex predator who was met on Roblox, you may be eligible to recover monetary compensation from a Roblox sexual abuse injury lawsuit or settlement case.
