Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has announced the launch of a criminal investigation into the online gaming company Roblox, which he said has become a "breeding ground" for child predators to "solicit information, locations, and ultimately abuse kids."
Uthmeier said in a press release, “Platforms like Roblox have become breeding grounds for predators to gain access to our kids. We will stop at nothing in the fight to protect Florida’s children, and companies that expose them to harm will be held accountable."
He also appeared on Fox News, where he announced the state is issuing criminal subpoenas to the online company.
“Our initial inquiry, as well as arrests and convictions across the state, have shown that Roblox is a breeding ground for child predators to get on the platform, solicit information, locations, and ultimately abuse kids,” he said.
