MDL 3166: Why the Roblox Litigation is the Strategic Growth Play for 2026

For law firms finalizing their 2026 mass tort inventory, a new opportunity has emerged that bridges the gap between product liability and digital safety. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) has heard arguments to consolidate federal cases into MDL 3166: In re: Roblox Child Sexual Exploitation and Assault Litigation.

Unlike previous social media dockets that struggled with causation, the Roblox litigation targets the platform’s fundamental architecture. With a defendant holding over $3 billion in liquidity and a user base of 70-80 million daily active users, this docket offers the scale and solvency necessary for a viable mass tort.

Here is how Mohr Marketing helps your firm enter this litigation securely using our Compliance Shield protocol.

The Legal Pivot: Architecture Over Content

The viability of this case rests on a critical distinction that challenges Section 230 immunity. Plaintiffs are not suing Roblox merely as a publisher of third-party content; they are suing for “engineering risk”.

The core allegations focus on design defects that facilitate harm, including:

• Failed Age Verification: Systems that allow minors to bypass safety controls easily.
• Predatory Pairing: Chat tools that connect adult strangers with minors.
• The “Migration” Pattern: A consistent fact pattern where predators groom children on Roblox before moving them to unmonitored platforms like Discord to escalate abuse.

This legal approach aligns with recent court trends that distinguish between hosting speech (protected) and monetizing unsafe design (potentially liable).

The Mohr Marketing Difference: Validating the “Digital Bedroom”

Entering a sensitive docket involving minors requires precision. The “Compliance Shield” is Mohr Marketing’s proprietary lead generation protocol designed to protect your firm’s intake from fraud and unqualified claims.

For MDL 3166, we do not just generate leads; we validate the fact pattern against the strict criteria required for a compensable claim.

The Compliance Shield Protocol for Roblox MDL

1. Origin Verification (The “Meeting” Criteria)

To overcome causation challenges, we strictly screen for the “How They Met” criteria. Our intake funnels automatically reject cases where the interaction began on a different platform. We verify that the child met the abuser through Roblox, even if the communication later migrated to a secondary app.

2. Abuse Categorization & Routing

We segment leads into specific tiers to align with your firm’s criteria, ensuring you only pay for cases that fit your desired profile:

• Physical Abuse: Cases involving in-person meetings, sexual assault, or trafficking.
• Virtual Abuse & Sextortion: Cases involving the exchange of explicit materials or financial extortion (Robux).
• Grooming & Injury: Cases where relationship-building occurred, substantiated by qualifying injuries such as PTSD, depression, or medical diagnoses.

3. Regulatory & Consent Compliance

In an era of increasing scrutiny, our Compliance Shield ensures every lead is audit-ready:

• TCPA Adherence: We utilize trusted compliance partners (like Jornaya/TrustedForm) to document proof of consent for every inquiry.
• Guardian Authorization: Our workflows require parental/guardian consent for any claimant under the age of 18 at the time of intake.

Why Partner with Mohr Marketing?

The projected inventory for a mature Roblox MDL is estimated between 2,500 and 10,000 active plaintiffs¹⁴. With bellwether trials potentially driving settlement values for exploitation cases into the seven figures, the time to acquire cases is before the docket becomes saturated.

Mohr Marketing provides the infrastructure to build your docket with speed and safety. We deliver plaintiffs who aren’t just “leads”—they are qualified clients with verified fact patterns ready for your intake team.
