Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Over Naked Baby on Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’

A lawsuit filed by Spencer Elden, the man featured as a naked baby on the cover of Nirvana's iconic album "Nevermind," has been dismissed by a judge. Elden claimed that the band had engaged in child sex abuse imagery by using his image without his consent. However, the judge ruled that the lawsuit was filed too late, as the statute of limitations had expired. The decision comes after several previous attempts by Elden to sue the band and associated parties over the album cover. The "Nevermind" album, released in 1991, became one of the most influential and successful albums in the history of rock music, and the image of the naked baby has become an iconic part of Nirvana's legacy. The dismissal of the lawsuit marks the end of a long-running legal battle over the use of Elden's image, which he had previously embraced as part of his own identity.
