Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit against online gaming platform Roblox for “knowingly” facilitating conditions for sexual predators.
The 76-page lawsuit was filed Thursday in the 8th Judicial Circuit Court in Baker County . There’s no one particular victim listed in the lawsuit, but the filing states, “These predators use the Roblox (application) to find, groom, and abuse children. Florida children have been coerced into taking and sending sexual images of themselves. Others have been physically abducted and raped.”
The lawsuit follows several legal maneuvers by Uthmeier this year challenging Roblox’s operations. There was already one civil action , and Uthmeier launched a criminal investigation of the online platform in October.
