Nirvana has officially won its “Nevermind” album cover baby lawsuit after a federal judge dismissed the case for a final time Friday, according to reports.
Judge Fernando M. Olguin wrote in an eight-page ruling that since the plaintiff, Spencer Elden, filed the case after knowing about the cover for over 10 years, his filing had exceeded the statute of limitations, officially dismissing the case in favor of Nirvana.
The ruling ends a year-long case brought forth by Spencer Elden, who was photographed for the album cover when he was a baby. In Aug. 2021, Elden filed a case against claiming that the image was child pornography and that as a child, he couldn’t consent to his image being used.
