Elden, 30, has filed another lawsuit against the band. The second suit was submitted on 12 January after his initial complaint was dismissed by a judge last month.
He appeared on the cover of Nirvana's iconic album "Nevermind" as a baby, and began legal proceedings in August. His first lawsuit claimed that the cover image was child pornography. In early January, a California court ruled to dismiss the claim, but allowed the amended complaint to be filed.
In the new lawsuit, Elden's lawyers dropped the allegations of sex trafficking, leaving claims of using their client as an object of child pornography. The defendants are the surviving musicians of Nirvana, Universal Music Group, and photographer Kirk Weddle. Spencer is demanding $150,000 from each of them - not counting the reimbursement of legal costs.
The defendants have until 27 January to reply to Elden's new complaint.
