 A US judge has again dismissed the legal claim against Nirvana by the man who, as a baby, appeared nude on the famous cover of their ‘Nevermind’ album.

Claiming that Elden’s guardians did not know how the nude baby photo would be used when it was originally taken, the lawsuit said that the defendants “knowingly produced, possessed, and advertised commercial child pornography depicting Spencer, and they knowingly received value in exchange for doing so”.Nirvana and the other defendants quickly got busy trying to have the lawsuit dismissed.
