A US appeals court has revived a case accusing rock band Nirvana of publishing images of child sexual abuse by using a photo of a naked four-month-old baby on the cover of its album Nevermind. This was reported by Guard.
The publication noted that the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court’s ruling that Spencer Elden, the boy featured on the cover, waited too long to file a lawsuit against the group.
According to Nirvana’s lawyer, Bert Deixler, this “procedural glitch” does not change the band’s perspective and they will continue to defend it in court because the case is “baseless”.
Elden, who previously featured a naked photograph of herself as a child on the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind album, appealed the court’s refusal to award him compensation.
Elden’s lawyers now point out loopholes in the law that allow only minors to be subjected to such treatment, and argue that their client was traumatized before coming of age and continues to suffer even as the controversial cover of his photo circulates online.
