Senator Ted Cruz requested United States Attorney General William Barr to investigate allegations of Netflix distribution of child pornography:

> The video streaming service and content-producer Netflix is currently hosting a film entitled Cuties that sexualizes young girls, including through dance scenes that simulate sexual activities and a scene exposing a minor’s bare breast.

> I urge the Department of Justice to investigate the production and distribution of this film to determine whether Netflix, its executives, or the individuals involved in the filming and production of Cuties violated any federal laws against the production and distribution of child pornography.

> Two days ago, Netflix released “Cuties” to its subscribers in the United States.

> The film, directed by a French director, is ostensibly about an 11-year-old girl in Paris who becomes a member of a provocative dance group with other similarly-aged girls.

> The film routinely fetishizes and sexualizes these pre-adolescent girls as they perform dances simulating sexual conduct in revealing clothing, including at least one scene with partial child nudity.

> These scenes in and of themselves are harmful.

> And it is likely that the filming of this movie created even more explicit and abusive scenes, and that pedophiles across the world in the future will manipulate and imitate this film in abusive ways.

> As you know, the Department of Justice has a significant role in preventing the sexual abuse of children.

> The Department enforces federal criminal law making it a serious crime to produce or distribute material involving the sexual exploitation of minors, including the filming of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. §§ 2251, 2252.

> By investigating and prosecuting offenders who possess and distribute images and video sexually depicting minors, the Department both obtains justice for those who have been abused and helps protect children from future sexual abuse and exploitation.

Former Obama National Security Advisor Susan E. Rice is on the board of directors of Netflix.

The preview for the movie "Cuties" resulted in a grand jury in Tyler County, Texas (not to be confused with the city of Tyler, Texas which is in a different county) issuing an indictment in September 2020 against Netflix, charging it with a violation of Texas Penal Code Section 43.262, which prohibits promoting lewd visual material of children "which appeals to the prurient interest in sex and has no serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value".[4][5] The indictment was served on the corporation on October 1, 2020.[6]
