Netflix indicted by Texas grand jury over 'lewd' depiction of children in 'Cuties' drama

Netflix is facing criminal charges for its film "Cuties" in an East Texas county.

A Texas grand jury indicted Netflix for the "lewd" representation of children in the controversial French film, according to the Tyler County District Attorney.

The Sept. 23 indictment shows the Tyler County Grand Jury charged the popular streaming site for "promotion of lewd visual material depicting child" for its drama about a young girl who is torn between her conservative Muslim family’s values and her desire to join a dance troupe.

Among the charges in question is Netflix’s alleged promotion of material that portrays the "exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a clothed or partially clothed child, which appeals to the prurient interest in sex and has no serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value" — a violation of the Texas penal code, according to the press release from Tyler County District Attorney Lucas Babin.

It’s out of Texas. Not like anyone there is actually going to do anything about it.

A formal demand by the Governor is all it takes to have them extradited from whatever State they are in.

Absolutely nothing. CO is just as impotent as TX.

"...and has no serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value"

The defense will argue that this has enormous political value.

The Tyler County District Attorney has a pretty interesting wikipedia page, and was a male model and actor before he went to law school.

Per his filmography his screen debut was Undressed, and he's also been in Sex and the City.

Not sure if that makes him somebody with a unique insider's view of the sexual abuses of the showbiz world, an attention whore, or a bit of both.
