Pusch & Nguyen on the Rise of Online Grooming Lawsuits Against Roblox and Discord
Online grooming lawsuits are on the rise — and one of the most disturbing yet involves two of the largest platforms used by children: Roblox and Discord. At Pusch & Nguyen, we stand with families who are taking action after preventable harm.
A recent Forbes article revealed that a California family has filed a Roblox lawsuit after their child was groomed and sexually assaulted by a predator who contacted them through Roblox and continued abuse via Discord.
Who Is Representing the Family? Our Friend Matt Dolman
We’re proud to share that Matt Dolman, a close personal friend of our firm and a nationally recognized trial lawyer, is lead counsel in this high-profile Roblox and Discord lawsuit.
Matt and his team at Dolman Law Group have extensive experience representing victims of online exploitation, digital grooming, and tech platform negligence. We’ve worked with Matt on serious injury and institutional abuse cases before, and we know firsthand how fiercely he fights for his clients.
Why Is Roblox Being Sued?
The lawsuit alleges the following:
- Roblox and Discord failed to implement basic safety measures, including age verification and predator detection tools.
- Both platforms misled parents into believing their environments were safe for children, despite internal knowledge of grooming incidents.
- Predators used in-game messaging and external chat platforms like Discord to isolate and abuse children.

More Families Are Coming Forward
This case is not an isolated incident. Across Texas, Florida, New Jersey, and California, families are filing lawsuits for:
- Child sexual abuse linked to in-game and online platform access.
- Negligent moderation by companies profiting from child users.
- False marketing claims around child safety and parental controls.
As more victims speak out, Roblox lawsuits and Discord lawsuits are expected to rise.
Your Legal Options if Your Child Was Groomed or Exploited Online
If your family has been affected by online grooming, predator access through apps, or platform negligence, it’s critical to act quickly:
- Preserve evidence (screenshots, usernames, chat logs, and dates).
- Report the incident to law enforcement.
- Consult an attorney experienced in child exploitation and platform liability.
