Texas Grand Jury Indicts Netflix For Promotion Of ‘Cuties’

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – A Texas grand jury has indicted streaming giant Netflix for promoting French film “Mignonnes,” or “Cuties,” which the court says depicts lewd visuals of children. The movie received backlash before its release because of a movie poster that went viral for its provocative depiction of its young female actors. After its release in September, it received even more criticism, particularly from members of Congress, including U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who called for subscribers to cancel Netflix. The Texas Tribune reports that the Tyler County grand jury handed down the indictment last month.
