Overview

  • Roblox has terminated all of Schlep’s accounts and delivered a cease-and-desist letter accusing him of simulating child-endangerment chats, soliciting personal data and urging users off-platform.
  • In its public statement the company warned that independent sting operations bypass moderation systems, undermine official investigations and could prompt legal action.
  • Schlep rejects the allegations, insisting his decoy accounts never initiate explicit content to avoid entrapment and that most logs were collected on Discord.
  • He recalls being groomed on Roblox as a child and claims his videos helped secure six arrests while the platform delayed banning the original predator.
  • The controversy has sparked a wave of social-media campaigns under #FreeSchlep and #BoycottRoblox as influencers debate platform responsibility versus vigilante tactics.
