A BBC investigation has found virtual sex parties are taking place in a popular online children’s game.

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.

A California man has been arrested for abducting a 10-year-old child he reportedly met on social media apps Roblox and Discord, authorities said Wednesday.

Roblox ’s chief executive is facing a wave of fury after his company sent a cease and desist letter to a YouTuber known for exposing alleged child predators on the online gaming platform.

Roblox is no longer allowing users under the age of 13 to message others outside of games and experiences on the platform.
