Louisiana sues Roblox alleging the popular gaming site fails to protect children
Louisiana sued the online gaming platform Roblox on Thursday, alleging the wildly popular site has perpetuated an environment where sexual predators "thrive, unite, hunt and victimize kids.' The lawsuit, filed in state court by Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, alleges that Roblox has failed to implement effective safety measures to protect child users from adult predators. 'Due to Roblox's lack of safety protocols, it endangers the safety of the children of Louisiana,' Murrill said in a news release. 'Roblox is overrun with harmful content and child predators because it prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety." The company has faced lawsuits and backlash for not doing enough to protect kids on its gaming services. Last month, a lawsuit was filed in Iowa after a 13-year-old girl was allegedly introduced to an adult predator on the platform, then kidnapped and trafficked across multiple states and raped. In Louisiana, Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard said his office has had multiple cases involving Roblox. In one, police allege a man used voice-altering technology to pose as a girl on the platform. Ard said there have yet to be any arrests made related to the gaming site. Ultimately, Murrill said she believes Roblox should be shut down. An email seeking comment was sent to the company Thursday. The free online gaming platform has more than 111 million monthly users. Its website describes Roblox as "the ultimate virtual universe that lets you create, share experiences with friends, and be anything you can imagine.' Roblox doesn't allow users to share videos or images in chats and tries to block any personal information, such as phone numbers. However, as with other gaming platforms and social media sites with similar policies, people find ways around such safeguards. Roblox, which according to its website has 'a zero-tolerance policy for the exploitation of minors,' doesn't allow children under 13 to chat with other users outside of games unless they have explicit parental permission. Because the platform does not encrypt private chat conversations, the company can monitor and moderate them. However, Murrill said there is no age minimum or substantial age verification process once a user signs up. As a result, young children, teens and adults posing as children can sign up, she said. The company says on its website that age verification "is a new feature that is currently in testing on Roblox.' Last month, it launched a feature that requires teenagers aged 13 to 17 to send a video selfie to verify their ages if they want to chat freely with people they know, called 'trusted connections.' Amid mounting criticism in recent months, the company has implemented additional measures that it says will keep their young users safe. In August, Roblox told AP that it was rolling out an artificial intelligence system to help detect early signs of possible child endangerment, such as sexually exploitive language. Roblox said the system led it to submit 1,200 reports of potential attempts at child exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the first half of 2025.

Alleged DC sandwich-thrower worked at justice department, attorney general says
The US attorney general, Pam Bondi, announced on Thursday that the man facing a felony assault charge for allegedly throwing a sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer in Washington DC worked at the Department of Justice. In a statement posted on social media, Bondi said that the man, identified in court documents as 37-year-old Sean Charles Dunn, has since been fired. 'If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you. I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice – NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony,' Bondi wrote. 'This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ. You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.' Dunn served as an international affairs specialist in the criminal division of the office of international affairs at the Department of Justice, according to CNN. On Wednesday night, the FBI director, Kash Patel, said that Dunn had been charged with felony assault on a federal officer. In court documents, authorities say that the incident occurred on Sunday night on 14th Street in north-west DC. They say that Dunn approached and confronted a group of US Customs and Border Protection officers who were patrolling the area. Authorities claim that Dunn pointed his finger in an officer's face and yelled, 'Fuck you! You fucking fascists! Why are you here? I don't want you in my city,' before 'winding his arm back and forcefully throwing sub-style sandwich' at an officer. Authorities said that Dunn then attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended. During processing, authorities say that Dunn confessed to the incident and told the officers, 'I did it. I threw a sandwich,' according to court documents. The incident was captured on video, which has since gone viral. In the footage, a man can be seen yelling 'You see these fascists? Fuck you!' and 'Shame!' at a group of officers patrolling the area before throwing a wrapped sub-style sandwich at one of them. He is then chased by the officers. The US attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, who was recently confirmed to the position, announced the charges against Dunn on Wednesday. 'This guy thought it was funny – well, he doesn't think it's funny today, because we charged him with a felony,' the former Fox News host said. The incident came several days after Donald Trump ordered federal officers to start sweeping the streets of Washington DC, in what the White House said was part of an effort to crack down on violent crime, despite statistics showing that the city's violent crime rate hit a 30-year low in 2024. On Monday, one day after the sandwich incident, Trump announced that he was deploying the national guard in Washington DC and seizing control of the city's police force. National guard troops began deploying across the city on Tuesday night.

Police said Rodriguez denied that the drugs reportedly discovered during his latest arrest belonged to him. This comes after the 70-year-old comic was arrested in March for drug possession, though he also denied at the time that the drugs belonged to him.
