Dolman Law Group is spearheading legal actions against Roblox Corporation across multiple states, alleging the popular gaming platform creates an environment where predators can freely target children while the company actively suppresses those attempting to expose safety deficiencies. The Florida-based mass tort and personal injury law firm represents families nationwide whose children experienced grooming, exploitation, and physical harm after being contacted by predators posing as fellow players on the gaming platform.
Legal complaints filed in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, and California detail how Roblox's alleged lax moderation and inadequate safety controls have enabled predators to operate with minimal interference. According to court documents, the company's public claims about robust safety measures contradict the reality experienced by young users, resulting in devastating consequences for children and their families. Matthew Dolman, founding partner of Dolman Law Group, characterized the situation as demonstrating how capitalist greed outweighs humanity, with children suffering unimaginably due to insufficient safety protections.
The controversy gained additional momentum through the treatment of whistleblower Schlep, a digital safety advocate who independently investigated predators using Roblox's platform. Through examination of public in-game data and utilization of official reporting channels, Schlep documented widespread grooming and exploitation involving minors. Rather than collaborating to improve child protection measures, Roblox allegedly retaliated by banning Schlep's account and issuing a cease-and-desist letter to suppress his findings. Critics argue this pattern demonstrates Roblox prioritizes protecting its corporate image and profits over safeguarding vulnerable young users.
Dolman Law Group's investigations reveal repeated instances where Roblox ignored warnings and failed to act on clear evidence of exploitation within its gaming community. The legal actions aim to secure justice for victims while forcing systemic reform within the gaming industry. Dolman emphasized the legal fight will continue until platforms like Roblox are held accountable, ensuring parents receive transparency and children receive adequate protection. As a multi-award-winning firm recognized by Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, Dolman Law Group brings substantial experience to this battle, having secured over $400 million in compensation for victims of negligence and corporate misconduct.
