Nirvana wins the dismissal of a lawsuit by a man who claimed his depiction as a naked four-month-old baby on the cover of the band's seminal 1991 album 'Nevermind' was child sexual exploitation
In this September 6, 2011 photo, Krist Novoselic, left, and Dave Grohl, centre, former members of the band Nirvana, pose with Butch Vig, producer of the band's landmark 1991 album"Nevermind," poses in Los Angeles.
In a decision on Friday, US District Judge Fernando Olguin in Los Angeles said Spencer Elden waited too long to claim Nirvana sexually exploited him, having sued more than 10 years after learning about the cover. Elden was interviewed in 2003 at age 12 by Rolling Stone magazine about the photo, saying he was "probably gonna get some money from it," and recreated the image as an adult in 2016 with "Nevermind" tattooed on his chest.
