Kentucky AG calls Roblox a ‘playground for predators’ in lawsuit in opposition to gaming platform | Native Information

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman is suing the gaming and social media platform Roblox.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, Coleman accuses Roblox of knowingly making a playground for predators to distribute youngster sexual abuse materials and groom youngster victims.

Nearly two-thirds of all youngsters within the U.S., between the ages of 9 and 12, play video games on the platform, Coleman stated.

“Public reports have show Roblox has become an environment for predators and other bad actors, including with so-called ‘assassination simulators’ following the horrific killing of Charlie Kirk as well as with extremist sextortion groups that have extorted, threatened, and even conspired to kill children as young as eight,” Coleman’s workplace stated in a information launch Monday.

While the lawsuit was filed by Coleman Monday, he is holding a information convention Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. in Frankfort to speak about it publicly.

The firm was valued at $41 billion when it went public in 2021.
