Fortune: Nirvana facing new lawsuit from ‘Nevermind’ naked baby album cover

From Fortune:



Spencer Elden, a man who appeared naked as a 4-month-old on Nirvana’s 1991 album “Nevermind,” has filed a child sexual exploitation lawsuit against the band. Elden claims that he has suffered “permanent harm” as a result of the image being used and profited from. The lawsuit was initially thrown out due to being outside the statute of limitations but a federal appeals court has now revived the case and sent it back to the lower court, citing the appearance of the image on a 30th anniversary reissue of “Nevermind” in 2021. Nirvana’s attorney has called the ruling a “procedural setback” and stated that they will vigorously defend the case.
