A US judge has thrown out a man’s latest lawsuit against the music group Nirvana over the band’s iconic 1991 album cover, which featured him naked as a child.
Spencer Elden, 31, said his appearance on the cover of the Nevermind album amounted to child sexual abuse.
But the judge said he remembered too late to claim he had been abused.
The lawsuit focused on a photograph of Elden, which depicted him swimming naked in a pool toward a dollar bill pierced with a fish hook.
He argued that he had not been able to understand that the photo was being used and was seeking $150,000 in damages.
