Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill accused California-based Roblox of enabling online predators to endanger children in a state lawsuit filed on Thursday.

Murrill filed a lawsuit against Roblox in the state's 21st Judicial District Court in Livingston Parish, where an alleged sexual predator of children recently was arrested while using the site.

"Due to Roblox's lack of safety protocols, it endangers the safety of the children of Louisiana," Murrill said in a statement.

"Roblox is overrun with harmful content and child predators because it prioritizes user growth, revenue and profits over child safety," she said.
