US Court Allows Lawsuit Accusing Nirvana of Sexual Exploitation in 'Nevermind' Album Cover

A US appeals court has revived a lawsuit against rock band Nirvana, accusing them of publishing child sexual abuse images by using a photograph of a naked four-month-old baby on the cover of their 1991 album "Nevermind." The court overturned a previous decision that the plaintiff had waited too long to bring the lawsuit. The court did not address whether the album cover constitutes child sexual abuse. The lawsuit was filed by Spencer Elden, the baby depicted on the cover, who claims he was sexually exploited and suffered personal harm. The case will now proceed to court.
