A Snohomish County family has filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corporation and Discord, Inc., accusing the popular online platforms of enabling the sexual exploitation of a teenage girl.

Filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the complaint from Dolman Law Group alleges the tech companies created “breeding grounds for predators” and prioritized profit over child safety. The suit was filed on behalf of a now 14-year-old girl, identified as Jane Doe, and her father.
