MDL 3166 Alert: Diversify Your 2026 Portfolio with the Roblox Docket

For law firms building their mass tort inventory for the coming year, a significant new opportunity is taking shape. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) has recently heard arguments to consolidate federal cases against Roblox Corporation into MDL 3166.

If granted, this consolidation would open discovery into allegations that the platform—which boasts 70–80 million daily active users—was designed in a way that facilitated child exploitation and financial loss.

For firms, the Roblox litigation offers a defendant with high liquidity (over $3 billion in cash and investments) and a distinct legal strategy that targets platform architecture rather than just third-party content. However, the sensitive nature of these claims makes intake screening critical.

The Roblox Legal Angle: Engineering vs. Publishing

The core of this litigation is an attempt to pierce the Section 230 immunity shield. Plaintiffs argue that Roblox is not liable for what users say, but for how the platform is built. The complaints focus on design choices that allegedly pair adult strangers with minors and monetization systems that incentivize dangerous engagement.

This “negligent design” approach aims to bypass traditional content moderation defenses, creating a liability framework where the platform’s failure to implement effective age verification and safety measures becomes the central issue.

The “Compliance Shield” Protocol for Roblox Leads

In mass torts involving minors and sensitive abuse allegations, lead quality is paramount. Mohr Marketing utilizes the Compliance Shield protocol to rigorously vet potential claimants against the specific criteria required for a compensable case.

Our protocol filters leads through four distinct layers of verification:

1. Platform Origin Verification

To establish causation, we verify the specific point of contact.

• The “Meeting” Rule: We strictly enforce that the child must have met the abuser on Roblox.
• Platform Migration: We accept cases where communication moved to other platforms (like Discord), provided the initial grooming contact occurred within the Roblox ecosystem.
• Exclusion: Any claimant who met their abuser elsewhere first is automatically rejected.

2. Age & Authority Validation

We ensure all claimants fall within the actionable class period.

• Minor Status: The claimant must have been under 18 years old when the abuse began.
• Guardian Consent: For any plaintiff currently under 18, our system mandates a parent or guardian signature for retainer.

3. Categorized Abuse Screening

The Compliance Shield segments claims into specific tiers, allowing your firm to target the case types that match your litigation strategy:

• Physical Abuse: Verified instances of in-person meetings resulting in sexual assault, trafficking, or attempted assault.
• Virtual Exploitation: Cases involving sextortion, the exchange of explicit materials, or demands for nude photos in exchange for currency.
• Grooming: Documented patterns where an adult built a relationship to exploit the child over time.

4. Qualifying Injury Confirmation

Mere interaction is often insufficient for damages. Our protocol requires proof of a “Qualifying Injury” for grooming and virtual abuse claims, including:

• Mental Health Diagnoses: Depression, anxiety, PTSD, or suicidal ideation.
• Behavioral Impact: Documented school issues or active mental health treatment.
• Physical/Medical Evidence: Medical diagnoses of physical harm or evidence of self-harm/suicide attempts.
