In legal papers, Elden, now 30, claims that photo of him as an infant - underwater in a pool and seemingly swimming after a dollar bill on a fishhook - violates a federal law that lets victims of child pornography collect at least $150,000 from everyone involved in creating the filth.
“This is a money grab and … I would look for a court to dismiss because it’s frivolous and it really is offensive to what we have all been doing in trying to protect children from the harm they are alleging here,” White said. “The idea that the Nirvana album is for the purpose of gratification sexually is just such a ridiculous outrage,” he said. White, whose firm is located in Okemos, Mich., also called the suit “really offensive to the true victims” of child pornography, saying that “the people that traffic in this garbage do it for sexual gratification.” “Not only do I not think this lawsuit will hold water, I think the attorneys will be scrutinized for even filing this thing,” he said. “I’ve never seen a more offensive, frivolous lawsuit in the history of my career,” said White, whose clients include people victimized by pedophile priests, Boy Scout leaders and notorious ex-USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar. Lawyer Jamie White, who’s represented thousands of survivors of childhood sexual abuse, called the case brought by Spencer Elden, now 30, “just outrageous on so many levels.” The man who appeared as a naked baby on the cover of Nirvana’s smash, breakthrough album should have said “Nevermind” to the idea of filing a child-porn lawsuit over its iconic cover, some legal experts said Wednesday.
