Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the lawsuit, stating that Roblox aggressively markets to young children but fails to protect them from sexual predators.
The state is the first in the nation to conduct a criminal investigation into Roblox regarding these allegations.
“Roblox aggressively markets to young children but fails to protect them from sexual predators,” Uthmeier said.
