Dolman Law Group Challenges Roblox’s Attempt to Force Child Sexual Abuse Survivors into Secretive Arbitration

Clearwater, Florida – Dolman Law Group, a national litigation firm dedicated to advocating for injured individuals and families, today announced its determined opposition to Roblox Corporation’s attempts to force injured Roblox users into private, mandatory arbitration proceedings. The firm asserts that these dispute clauses, hidden within user agreements, are legally unenforceable against children who lack the capacity to enter such contracts, and represent a significant barrier to justice for some of society’s most vulnerable online users.

Dolman Law Group has already filed more than 15 lawsuits nationwide on behalf of families whose children have been exploited and abused by predators using the Roblox platform. These horrific cases often involve online grooming that begins on Roblox, escalates to other platforms like Discord, and can lead to sexual extortion, sharing of illicit material, and even physical assault.

Roblox, a multi-billion dollar online gaming platform popular with children, includes a mandatory arbitration clause in its user agreement that it now seeks to enforce against these minor survivors, preventing their cases from being heard in public courts.

“It is morally indefensible and legally questionable for a company like Roblox to hide behind an arbitration clause when children have been sexually exploited and harmed through activities facilitated on its platform,” stated Matthew Dolman, lead attorney handling these cases for Dolman Law Group. “Children cannot legally consent to contracts in the same way adults can, and these clauses are designed to silence survivors, obscure corporate accountability, and keep these heinous acts out of the public eye. We are fighting to ensure these young survivors get their day in court and that justice is served transparently.”

Stanley Gipe, lead trial attorney and partner at Dolman Law Group, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the firm’s commitment to challenging corporate power. “Our firm is prepared to vigorously challenge every attempt by Roblox to divert these critical cases into arbitration. We believe that public trials are essential for accountability, deterrence, and raising awareness about the serious dangers children face online. We will not allow a complex user agreement to deny these survivors their fundamental right to justice and prevent their stories from being heard.”

The firm argues that mandatory arbitration clauses, particularly those imposed on minors, deprive survivors of their constitutional right to a jury trial, limit discovery, and often result in confidential proceedings that prevent public scrutiny and systemic change. Dolman Law Group is committed to protecting the rights of these children and their families and holding platforms like Roblox accountable for creating environments where such abuse can occur.

Dolman Law Group encourages families who believe Roblox or other online platforms have harmed their children to seek legal counsel, learn about their rights, and explore their options for pursuing justice.
