A man who appeared as a naked baby on the cover of Nirvana's 1991"Nevermind" album has filed a lawsuit against the surviving members of the influential band, alleging the image was child sexual exploitation.

"Nevermind" is one of the best-selling albums of all time, having sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Elden, now 30, is asking for US$150,000 in compensation from each of several defendants, including Universal Music Group, photographer Kirk Weddle, Nirvana drummer and rock legend Dave Grohl, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic and Courtney Love, the widow of Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain, who died in 1994.

According to the lawsuit, Elden's parents never received any compensation for the image shot by Weddle, who was a friend of Elden's father.
