Rebecca Dallas v. Roblox Corporation; Discord Inc.
The lawsuit, filed by law firm Anapol Weiss, accuses Roblox of inaccurately labeling its platform as safe, leading to Plaintiff Rebecca Dallas’s son, Ethan Dallas, being sexually exploited as a child and later dying by suicide at 15 years old.
The complaint described Ethan Dallas as an “avid user of Roblox,” who was then groomed by a predator pretending to be a child. The predator then transferred their interactions to Discord, where they proceeded to coerce Ethan Dallas into sending explicit images and videos. This is believed to have ultimately led to Ethan Dallas’s suicide.
Rebecca Dallas, who is residing in California, is said to have “suffered profound and enduring harm as a result of the death of her minor son.”
The lawsuit seeks compensation for Rebecca Dallas.
