My understanding was that this wasn't illegal back then. Is this a civil lawsuit? Does ex post facto apply to civil?

---

when were these things not illegal?

exploitation, sexual harassment, fraud, sexual abuse, negligence, and the distribution of nude images of children

---

This is not in support or to condone these pictures / scenes, but there used to be an exclusion for underage nudity images that were not sexually explicit.

Brooke Shields had at least one movie if not more where she was underage naked. And in her examples it seems impossible to argue the nature of the nudity was not in the context of being sexually explicit even if the scene was not.

I have no idea where the rules / law stand now on this. My hope was that its been tightened up considerably.

But to sue after 55 years is ridiculous. But Cali gonna Cali.

Give Olivia and Leonard a break. It's after Christmas and they got their credit card statements…bills are due and they need to make a fast buck.

you are talking about child pornography as a crime. that does not apply to the claims made here. even if something is not a crime, there can be civil liability

i do agree suing now is ridiculous.

The federal law against child sexual exploitation wasn't passed until 1977. Echoing what ftc said, I'm pretty sure there were exceptions that were allowed even after that. It wasn't until the PROTECT act in 2003 that the gov really cracked down on their "no minor nudity in movies" stance. How Man of Steel got around that with a naked baby in 2013 I'm not sure.

This movie is from 1968 and I'm also pretty sure it was filmed in the UK. Age of consent there is (or was, I didn't check) 16, which both actresses were.

thats for criminal liability. don't get me wrong, I think this case is nonsense.

Well, you asked when they weren't illegal.

Which is why I asked about ex post facto for civil. Can you really claim damages when 1.) it wasn't illegal, 2.) you agreed and signed a contract 3.) you received monetary compensation? They're clearly trying to cash in on the sentiment of current law.

none of those things I listed were legal at the time.

if you are sexually harrassed, or abused, or there is fraud, then yes. (that is the claim they are making)

American Beauty also had a scene where an underage actress was nude.

---

Likely used a body double.

---

Eh, no. Thora Birch's parents were on the set to observe while she filmed the nude scene at age 16.

---

Weird her porn star dad was ok with it.

And to make it even more bizarre, state of California had people on site to approve tge scene. State sanctioned child porn.

and for the cherry on top...

Kevin Spacey

Not really his flavor of ice cream.

I was referring to the distribution part. That was clearly legal in some circumstances. It's the reason you can still buy those movies today.

Funny…. I was actually just thinking about this the other night. I'm a classic rock fan and we have a record wall in our living room next to our media center. We have 15 classic rock vinyl albums framed. They were chosen for a combination of the music, album art and how they fit in to our living room. One of the albums is Led Zeppelin's "Houses of the Holy " which shows two naked children climbing the Giant's Causeway in North Ireland. The images show no genitalia and at most a little side butt. The two kids are brother-sister. Apparently the boy has grown up to be a tv host of some sort but the girl has melted down over her perceived abuse. You cannot see her face and it literally could be a dude in a wig. I mean damn… you are on the cover of a Led Zeppelin album. Some people refuse to be happy.

Outstanding selections and arrangements. Even the glass reflection on the Vargas print of Candy-O is tastefully done.

Get over it. It's been 50 freaking years.

Now do Blue Lagoon

Or Pretty Baby

Need to inform the wife to add some of these to the blocked movie list on the son's phone. If he finds Blue Lagoon we may never see him again.

Cris Collinsworth could be next:

Now here’s a guy who has some moves 😂
