Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corp. on May 7, 2026. The complaint alleges the company failed to adequately protect young users from online predators. The suit claims Roblox is aware that criminals use its platform to target and lure children.
The legal action seeks to compel the company to implement more effective safety measures. The state is requesting injunctive and declaratory relief, alongside the disgorgement of money obtained through the alleged unlawful conduct.
Indiana is seeking civil penalties of up to $5,000 for each knowing violation. The state also demands the reimbursement of all investigative costs. This action follows increasing public pressure regarding the company's safety protocols.
Separately, several law firms have launched investigations into Roblox for potential securities law violations. These probes follow a recent decline in stock price attributed to user engagement headwinds.
