Overview
- An in-game recreation titled “Saint Silverlemon Isle” replicated Jeffrey Epstein’s Little St. James with a villa, cabanas, a yacht, a massage table and a secret underground temple.
- The player-made experience was taken offline following public outcry, and its description invited users to “survive Jeffery the Killer and Donald,” referencing Epstein’s past association with Donald Trump.
- Safety advocates and users condemned the build as inappropriate for a platform marketed to children, calling the project “super disturbing.”
- Roblox has said it is disappointed to face lawsuits it considers sensationalized, while CEO David Baszucki’s prior comment framing predator risk as “an opportunity” resurfaced as the company promotes age-verification tools that limit who users can chat with.
- Legal scrutiny continues, with state attorneys general including Texas—along with reported actions from Tennessee and Florida—accusing Roblox of failing to protect children on the platform.
