In July of last year a concerned 81 year old grand-mother, Florence Cohen, filed a class action lawsuit against Take-Two for false, misleading and deceptive practices with regard to the hidden ‘Hot Coffee’ sex scenes hidden within the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. She had purchased the game for her 14-year-old grandson. A Manhattan federal judge has now denied a Take-Two motion to dismiss this, and four similar suits, which Cohen’s lawyers are consolidating into one. Take-Two and its subsidiary, Rockstar Games Inc., had argued that the plaintiffs could only file claims in the states where they resided, not all 50 states. In denying the motion District Judge Shirley Wohl Kram wrote:

“If class certification is granted, the court will have the benefit of a well-defined class and a more fully developed treatment of potential choice of law questions,”
