Robert M Estall Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I am particularly impressed with his "extreme and permanent emotional distress" which I interpret as " I really really want your money" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also suing the photographer Kirk Weddle actually suing everyone, except the guilty parties, the pimps who profited from his nudity, because they don't have money. Typical US suing environment.

Michael Ventura Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 So this guy, now in his 30's, just now says he was traumatized by the photo use. However, he liked it enough that he got a large tattoo across his chest with the word, "Nevermind", inked in the same font as the album cover and he has done reenactment photo shoots, to mimic the original cover. Also, in the U.S., a photo of a naked baby isn't considered child pornography unless it is obviously sexualized. This is according to a radio program I was listening to yesterday. The lawyer for this man is saying that the money on the fishhook is what makes it sexualized. It may not go far in the court but then it could be settled out of court. It will be interesting to see how this all ends up. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
