A group of law firms across the U.S. is seeking to file many lawsuits against Roblox (RBLX) in the coming months, all for clients alleging the platform facilitated the sexual exploitation and grooming of their children on the gaming platform, Wired’s David Gilbert and Megan Farokhmanesh report. “I would assume by the end of September there should be about 100 to hundreds of these pending, and I would assume by this time next year you’ll probably be looking at over 1,000 of these filed,” Matt Dolman from Dolman Law Group told Wired. “We alone already have about 300 of these cases.” The lawyer also told Wired that the vast majority of his clients are under the age of 16 and estimates roughly 60% of the cases involve girls.
