Opening soon

Child exploitation that started on Roblox or Discord

For parents of children who were targeted, and for adults who were targeted as minors.

Not open for new cases yet. We expect to open these cases soon. You can still leave your details and we will contact you, or call 313.733.1204.

Where the cases stand

  • Federal cases are combined in MDL No. 3166 (Northern District of California, Chief Judge Seeborg), created in December 2025. About 180 cases were pending in October 2026.
  • Roblox and Discord have asked the court to send the test cases to arbitration. A hearing is set for January 13, 2027.
  • Several states have brought their own cases against Roblox. Families’ individual claims are separate and continue.

Checked October 29, 2026. Sources: MDL Update, Roblox MDL 3166: who qualifies (Oct 2026); U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, pending MDL statistics.

Cases the lawyers are reviewing

  • An adult first contacted the child through Roblox while the child was under 18
  • The contact led to grooming, sexual messages, requests for images, sextortion, an attempted or actual meeting, or assault
  • Cases that stayed online can qualify. A police report helps but is not required.

Usually not a fit

  • Bullying by other children
  • Robux refunds, bans or spending disputes without predatory contact

Not sure? Take the check anyway or call. A lawyer makes the decision, not a form.

What to keep

  • Usernames involved, on Roblox and any app the contact moved to
  • Screenshots or saved messages, if you have them (do not delete anything)
  • Any report to Roblox, Discord, the police or the school
  • Names of any counselor or doctor who has seen the child since

Please don’t send records or screenshots through this website. If your case moves forward, the lawyers give you a secure way to share them.

Deadlines

Deadlines vary by state. Many states extend them for childhood sexual abuse, and the clock is often paused until 18. Ask before assuming it is too late.

Fees

A contingency fee set out in a written agreement before any work starts. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee.
