A Tyler County, Texas grand jury moved to return an indictment against Netflix on Sept. 23, Fox News confirmed on Tuesday via court documents. A Texas grand jury has indicted Netflix, prosecutors said Tuesday, on a charge of promoting lewdness in the French film Cuties, which has been maligned by some as child exploitation and defended by others as a complex coming-of-age story about preadolescent girls. This charge is without merit and we stand by the film. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is among several Washington lawmakers who have called for a Department of Justice investigation of Netflix over the film. This charge is without merit and we stand by the film."
Ted Cruz called for an investigation into Netflix over an alleged indecent charge.
