Roblox has been slammed as a "hunting ground for child-sex predators" in a new lawsuit against the online gaming giant that alleges it caused the sexual exploitation of a 9-year-old boy.

Roblox’s app and profit-driven virtual currency system enable predators to exploit children, often by trading or extorting Robux in exchange for explicit photos,” the lawsuit states.

Louisiana AG sues Roblox for child exploitation, citing safety failures and prioritization of profit over child protection, lack of age verification.
