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.

Netflix denied any wrongdoing after a summons was served on Oct. 1 by the Texas State Rangers.

"'Cuties' is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children. This charge is without merit and we stand by the film," the company said in a statement to The Hill.

After its Sept. 9 release, various GOP lawmakers including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) condemned "Cuties" for its alleged sexualization of minors. In a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr dated Sept. 11, Cruz called on the Department of Justice to investigate possible child abuse in relation to "Cuties."

As much as I would like to see Netflix take a hit for this one, I feel like they got too good of lawyers to actually face punishment over this.

They were not indicted by a Texas Grand Jury.

They were indicted by a Tyler County Grand Jury.

And that tells you all you need to know about this pearl clutching, waste of tax payer money.

How much worse is it than dance moms?

While I'm all for it, who actually stands trial? You can't criminally indict a company and have the company stand trial
