HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) - Attorney General Russell Coleman announced a lawsuit against Roblox—a popular gaming and social media platform with more than 380 million monthly users—for creating a hunting ground for child predators.

AG Colemans says since its launch in 2006, Roblox has "knowingly permitted" an online environment for exploitation, directly contributing to the "widespread victimization" of minor children in Kentucky.

Officials say Roblox is easily accessible, and children as young as six can create an account in a matter of minutes without the knowledge or consent of a parent. Nearly two-thirds of all kids in the United States between the ages of 9 to 12 play games on the Roblox platform. The company was valued at $41 billion when it went public in 2021.
