By 2025–2026, Roblox reported between 70 and 100 million daily active users. Roughly 40–45% of those users are under age 13, and the majority are under 16. This massive concentration of children in a single online platform, combined with Roblox's user-generated nature, has made it especially attractive to bad actors seeking easy access to vulnerable children, a disturbing reality that has drawn the attention of the FBI, state attorneys general, and international regulators.
Law enforcement agencies and multiple lawsuits have described Roblox as a fertile hunting ground for adult sexual predators and pedophiles. According to those allegations, adults routinely pose as teenagers, move private conversations off-platform, and engage in grooming, sextortion, and online sexual abuse. The pattern is well documented.
A predator posing as a peer befriends a child, builds trust through shared gameplay and virtual currency gifts, and gradually escalates to requests for sexually explicit photos or videos. In the worst cases, these online interactions have led to real-world abductions and sexual abuse.
