Nirvana's 'Nevermind' Baby Is Suing The Band For 'Sexual Exploitation'

Now-30-year-old Spencer Elden calls the iconic image "child pornography" and accuses the deceased Kurt Cobain of depicting him "like a sex worker."

A California man who appeared on the cover of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album as an infant has filed a lawsuit against the band claiming he was the victim of child pornography.  In a complaint filed Tuesday, Spencer Elden accused Nirvana of continuing to benefit from his “commercial sexual exploitation” 30 years after the album’s release.  “Defendants knowingly produced, possessed, and advertised commercial child pornography depicting Spencer, and they knowingly received value in exchange for doing so,” reads the suit, which can be found in full here. “Despite this knowledge, Defendants failed to take reasonable steps to protect Spencer and prevent his widespread sexual exploitation and image trafficking.”
